When a brillant new student arrives at highcrest Friday Barnes expects competition. She does not expect a rival detective who matches her logic, challenges her theories, and somehow manages to get under Ian Wainscott's skin within five minutes.Suddenly Highcrest is drowning in mysteries - sabotaged exams, coded messages, stolen files, and a shadowy mastermind pulling strings behind the scenes.
Friday wants answers.
Ian wants the rival gone.
Melanie wants popcorn.
But as the cases escalate, Friday begins to realise something statistically improbable:
the rival detective isn't just competing with her - he's targeting her.
And Ian Wainscott is done pretending he doesn't care.
Highcrest Academy has never been more chaotic.
Or more dangerous.
And Friday Barnes is about to solve the biggest case of her life.
