Life at Highcrest Academy has never been simple, but for Friday Barnes, solving mysteries has always been part of the routine. After cracking the case of the Gold-Digger, Friday is finally ready to settle back into her studies-until everything takes a darker turn.
When Friday mysteriously vanishes during school hours, her disappearance sends shockwaves through Highcrest. Ian Wainscott, her loyal (and lovesick) partner-in-crime-solving, is left reeling when a cryptic note is discovered: "You should've seen this coming."
As Ian races against the clock to uncover the truth, secrets about Highcrest's past and its powerful alumni begin to unravel. With the help of old friends-and a few unlikely allies-he must navigate a web of hidden motives and dangerous schemes. But the closer Ian gets to the truth, the more he realizes: Friday's disappearance is no ordinary case, and the stakes are higher than ever.
Can Ian solve the biggest mystery of his life and bring Friday home? Or will her captors prove to be one puzzle even she can't crack?
