In the nation's most prestigious classroom, brilliance is a survival game.
St. Quintin's Academy is a school like no other - home to forty-three of the country's brightest minds. Every seat is earned, every grade fought for, and every mistake remembered. Here, excellence isn't a goal. It's the law.
But when one of the 43 turns up dead, the perfect façade begins to crack. Whispers turn into accusations. Friendships dissolve into suspicion. And behind every award-winning smile lies a secret worth killing for.
Locked inside the academy until the murderer is found, the students must keep their wits sharper than their fear. Because in this class, genius isn't the most dangerous thing you can be.
It's trusting the wrong person.
