Publisher Description
High school can be hell. Literally.
A demonic detective novel best devoured in a single sitting--from acclaimed TV writer Stephen Lloyd.
Welcome to Danforth Putnam, boarding school for the elite, sprawled across its own private island off the coast of New England. Sam, a war vet who feels sure he’s seen it all, has been called here to find a stolen rare book. But as he corners D&D nerds, grills steroid-raging linemen, and interviews filthy-rich actresses, he soon senses that something far stranger—“witchy”, in fact—is afoot. When students start to meet mysterious and gruesome deaths, Sam realizes just how fast the clock is ticking.
After joining forces with plucky, epilepsy-defying school reporter Harriet, Sam ventures into increasingly dark territory, unravelling a supernatural mystery that will upend everything he thinks he knows about this school—and then shatter his own reality.
Toss Dracula into a blender, throw in a shot of hard-boiled detective fiction, splash in a couple drops of Stranger Things, and pour yourself a nice tall glass of Friend of the Devil.
Customer Reviews
Good story
I received an ARC of this book in return for my honest review.
3.5 stars
I enjoyed this short book,
reading it in one sitting! This story revolves around the theft of a book from a boarding school on an isolated island off the East coast. An insurance investigator comes to the island to look into the disappearance of the book. There are some strange things happening on the island and it gets even stranger. This story went in a direction that I didn’t see coming. If you like the synopsis of this story, you’ll probably like the book. Happy reading!
