She thought this all would be over in a week or less, but oh, how wrong she would turn out to be. It isn't too hard to catch a murderer normally, but what if this one really knows what they're doing?

Faye is known for being smart, witty and excellent at her job, but will it be enough in the end? Will she get out of the hell she's in with her life intact, or will she lose her sanity and her life in the process? Only time can tell.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
