From the bestselling author of the Night School series and The Echo Killing, comes a new political young adult thriller.
Eight months ago, Gray Langtrys mother became prime minister... now someone wants her dead
Grays life has been in turmoil ever since her mother was chosen to lead the country. First, they had to leave their home and move into the prime ministers official residence at Number 10 Downing Street. Now, everywhere she goes, she must be accompanied by bodyguards. Worst of all, the media wont leave her alone - shes in every tabloid, and her behaviour, her appearance, the length of her skirts... everything is judged. The scars from her parents divorce and her mothers abrupt remarriage are still raw. She doesnt like her stepfather. She doesnt like this life.
When shes 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. Its Julia, the new bodyguard, who tells her that a new terrorist organisation issued a threat, and the threat is credible. They say theyre going to kill her mother and Gray. When Gray tries to find out more though, no one will tell her. One of the few people who understands whats happening is Jake McIntyre - the son of her mothers political enemy. But can she trust him?
Late one night, while sneaking through dark government halls, she overhears a terrifying conversation. The situation is much worse than even her mothers security team suspects. But will anyone believe the prime ministers wild child daughter? Afraid for herself, her mother, and her country, Gray is determined to find proof. But she must move fast.
The clock is ticking.
