Overview
Two years ago, Mercy Gray was hailed as a hero for saving lives during a shooting. She still carries souvenirs from that day, including the fragment of a bullet lodged in her back, and a mountain of medical debt. So when billionaire turned TV host Damien Dare recruits Mercy to compete on his new survivalist reality show, she can't turn down a chance at the whopping cash prize. But when Mercy and the other contestants arrive at the off-grid location, something isn't right. And then one of them turns up dead. Soon, surviving the show takes on a new meaning. Mercy must figure out who to trust ... before she's the next to die. From bestselling author Kate Alice Marshall comes a nail-biter that's part survival story, part murder mystery, and all thriller - perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.
