One has a secret, one of them saw, there’s blood on the

papers, who’ll take the fall?

Zaina never meant to get involved. The plan was always to focus

on her exams, make her dad proud.

But none of this is what she’d planned for. Chanelle never made

it to the exam; Nero’s convinced he saw something last night and

Ysla can’t stop crying.

As Zaina starts to scratch the surface of secrets which desperately

want to stay hidden she begins to wonder … how far will they

go to keep her from the truth?

A new real-time thriller set over the course of a maths A-Level

exam
