Eight hours. Twelve contestants. A flight none of them might survive. A
flight to Paris full of teenagers seeking opportunity turns deadly in
this suspenseful, locked-door YA thriller. Perfect for fans of Diana
Urban, Karen McManus, and Jessica Goodman.
Seventeen-year-old boarding school student Emily Walters is selected
for an opportunity of a lifetime—she’ll compete abroad for a cash prize
that will cover not only tuition to the college of her choice, but will
lift her mother and her out of poverty.
But almost from the moment she and 11 other contestants board a private
jet to Europe, Emily realizes somebody is willing to do anything to
win. Between keeping an eye on her best friend’s flirty boyfriend and
hiding her own dark secrets, she’s not sure how she’ll survive the
contest, much less the flight. Especially when people start dying…
As loyalties shift and secrets are revealed, Emily must figure out who
to trust, and who’s trying to kill them all, before she becomes the
next victim.

A historical mystery about a girl who risks everything to track down a
vicious serial killer-for fans of The Enigma Game and Last Night at the
Telegraph Club.
Virginia, 1943: World War II is raging in Europe and on the Pacific
front when Kit Sutherland is recruited to help the war effort as a
codebreaker at Arlington Hall, a former girls' college now serving as
the site of a secret US Signal Intelligence facility. But Kit is soon
involved in another kind of fight: government girls are being brutally
murdered in Washington DC, and when Kit stumbles onto a bloody homicide
scene, she is drawn into the hunt for the killer.
To find the man responsible for the gruesome murders and bring him to
justice, Kit joins forces with other female codebreakers at Arlington
Hall-gossip queen Dottie Crockford, sharp-tongued intelligence maven
Moya Kershaw, and cleverly resourceful Violet DuLac from the segregated
codebreaking unit. But as the girls begin to work together and develop
friendships-and romance-that they never expected, two things begin to
come clear: the murderer they're hunting is closing in on them...and
Kit is hiding a dangerous secret.

come at a furious pace...A suspenseful page-turner."-Kirkus Reviews
