Ava Bonney is thirteen and fascinated by death: she collects roadkill and studies decomposition. One evening beside the bypass she comes across something far worse — the body of a classmate. Afraid of exposing her own secret, she tips off the police anonymously. When other teenagers start disappearing, Ava realises she can no longer watch from the side.

Key highlights:

• A dark psychological thriller with an unusual teenage heroine
• The tension rests on a secret the heroine is afraid to reveal
• On grief, guilt and the line between life and death
