'A TOUR DE FORCE: WITTY, THRILLING AND DELICIOUSLY CRUEL' Lev Grossman
Murder is money, and business is booming.
The Mortons are a modern day, old money dynasty with impeccable taste, from exquisite cocktails and expertly tailored vintage garments to stone cold murder.
Jessica is their golden child, a perfectly crafted apprentice to the Morton legacy. She has always excelled, and now, having committed her first kill whilst at elite college Helshire, she can finally stake her claim as a fully blooded Morton. This is her moment, her honour.
She has trained for this since birth, but in a family built on the bones of their secrets, where failure means erasure, can loyalty always come above care?
