About A SECRET ESCAPE:
The highly-anticipated third book in the Liars Society series, A Secret Escape continues the explosive, high-octane mystery series that immerses avid and reluctant readers alike in a world of dangerous riddles, friendship and betrayal, and an addictive search for the truth.
The game starts now. Jack and Weatherby—the newest members of Last Heir, the most powerful secret society in the world—have landed at an exclusive prep school in the Swiss Alps, ready to win big.
Last Heir is offering the chance of a lifetime: millions of dollars, a private island, and a powerful spot in the society’s inner circle. Not everyone has the same reasons for playing, but with money, power, and influence up for grabs, everyone wants to win. Too bad they’re not all playing by the same rules.
