SIX CLASSMATES. ONE TERRIFYING NIGHT. A MURDER TWENTY YEARS IN THE MAKING... There's something sinister under the surface of the idyllic, suburban town of Wesley Falls, and it's not just the abandoned coal mine that lies beneath it. The summer of 1995 kicks off with a party in the mine where six high school students witness a horrifying crime that changes the course of their lives. The six couldn't be more different. Maddy, a devout member of the local megachurch Kelly, the bookworm next door James, a cynical burnout Casey, a loveable football player Padma, the shy straight-A student Jia, who's starting to see visions she can't explain When they realize that they can't trust anyone but each other, they begin to investigate what happened on their own. As tensions escalate in town to a breaking point, the six make a vow of silence, bury all their evidence, and promise to never contact each other again. Their plan works - almost. Twenty years later, Jia calls them all back to Wesley Falls--Maddy has been murdered, and they are the only ones who can uncover why. But to end things, they have to return to the mine one last time.

Chloe Sevres ist neu an der John Adams University in Washington. Sie ist eine von sieben diagnostizierten Psychopathen, die an einer klinischen Studie der Uni teilnehmen, natürlich komplett anonym. Chloe ist aber noch aus einem anderen Grund hier: Sie will Rache - und den Tod eines Kommilitonen, der ihr übel mitgespielt hat. In 60 Tagen wird sie ihn umbringen. Bevor sie jedoch ihren Plan in die Tat umsetzen kann, funkt ihr jemand dazwischen und tötet erst einen, dann einen zweiten Teilnehmer der Studie. Um nicht als nächstes dran glauben zu müssen, schließt Chloe ein gefährliches Bündnis mit den anderen Psychopathen - immer auf der Hut, nicht von der Jägerin zur Gejagten zu werden ...
I've never met someone like me, but when I do, eventually, I think it will be like two wolves meeting in the night, sniffing and recognising a fellow hunter. Meet Chloe. First-year student at John Adams University. Ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door... and diagnosed psychopath with an IQ of 135. Her hobbies include yogalates, parties and plotting to kill Will Bachman. Chloe is part of a secret clinical study run by the unviersity's psychology department. All the participating students have the same diagnosis. Most psychopaths aren't criminals, but when a string of murders on campus causes panic, Chloe's private vendetta is temporarily sidelined. Partnered with fellow study participants she can't trust - and distracted by typical university life - Chloe has to walk the line between hunter and prey
