What to expect
Gray's life has been in turmoil ever since her mother was chosen to lead the country. Everywhere she goes, she must be accompanied by bodyguards. The media won't leave her alone – she's on the cover of every tabloid, and her behaviour, her appearance, the length of her skirts… everything is constantly judged.
Worse, the scars from her parents' divorce and her mother's abrupt remarriage are still raw. She doesn't like her stepfather. She doesn't like this life. None of it was her decision.
When she's photographed drunk outside a London nightclub, it makes headlines. Gray is grounded and given new bodyguards – younger, cooler, and harder to fool than the last batch.
It's Julia, the new bodyguard, who tells her that a new terrorist organisation issued a threat, and the threat is credible. They say they're going to kill her mother and Gray. When Gray tries to find out more though, no one will tell her.
Afraid for herself, her mother, and her country, Gray is determined to find answers. If someone wants to kill her, she deserves to know why. But she must move fast.
The clock is ticking.

Synopsis
Eight months ago, Gray Langtry's mother became prime minister. Now someone wants her dead. The thrilling new book from author of the multi-million copy bestselling Night School series. Named YA Book of the Year by the Independent and Financial Times. Gray's life has been in turmoil ever since her mother was chosen to lead the country. Everywhere she goes, she must be accompanied by bodyguards. The media won't leave her alone – she's on the cover of every tabloid, and her behaviour, her appearance, the length of her skirts… everything is constantly judged. Worse, the scars from her parents' divorce and her mother's abrupt remarriage are still raw. She doesn't like her stepfather. She doesn't like this life. None of it was her decision. When she's photographed drunk outside a London nightclub, it makes headlines. Gray is grounded and given new bodyguards – younger, cooler, and harder to fool than the last batch. It's Julia, the new bodyguard, who tells her that a new terrorist organisation issued a threat, and the threat is credible. They say they're going to kill her mother and Gray. When Gray tries to find out more though, no one will tell her. Afraid for herself, her mother, and her country, Gray is determined to find answers. If someone wants to kill her, she deserves to know why. But she must move fast. The clock is ticking.
