Not everyone will survive.As Judith races to uncover the truth, she realises she's no longer just investigating – she's being forced to play a very dangerous game. A game where only the winners will survive.

“A real page-turner, just about impossible to put down, and undoubtedly her best yet”
“Had me hooked from beginning to end, I couldn’t put it down”
“Gripping, clever, and emotionally charged”
“An adrenaline-fuelled thriller that grips from the outset—my heart was still racing by the final pages”
“DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK!!!!!!!! This book is amazing and I stayed up till 4am to finish it!! One of the most exciting books I have devoured in a long time”
“Stop what you are doing, buy this book. Forget your job. Forget your family. Forget all of your responsibilities. As matter of fact, just call in sick for about 48 hours so you can read this book and then get a shower and then re-read it for a second time. And then thank me later”
