USA Today bestselling author Samantha Downing is back with her latest sneaky thriller set at a prestigious private school -- complete with interfering parents, overeager students, and one teacher who just wants to teach them all a lesson…

Teddy Crutcher has won Teacher of the Year at the prestigious Belmont Academy, home to the best and brightest.
 
He says his wife couldn't be more proud -- though no one has seen her in a while.
 
Teddy really can't be bothered with a few mysterious deaths on campus that're looking more and more like murder or with the student digging a little too deep into Teddy's personal life. His main focus is pushing these kids to their full academic potential.  
 
All he wants is for his colleagues -- and the endlessly meddlesome parents -- to stay out of his way. If not, well, they'll get what they deserve.
 
It's really too bad that sometimes excellence can come at such a high cost.
