The Four

<strong>Powerful. Sinister. Heart-wrenching. Unmissable.</strong>

'Sharp, powerful, tragic and addictive' Chris Whitaker

'Poignant and tragic, visceral and cruel, it's about the best and the worst of what makes us human' Emma Flint

'An intensely gripping, thrilling and darkly beautiful debut. I was hooked' Karin Slaughter

'This is <em>The Secret History</em> for millennials' Daisy Goodwin

We were always The Four. From our very first day at High Realms.

The four scholarship pupils. Outsiders in a world of power and privilege.

It would have made our lives a lot easier if Marta had simply pushed Genevieve out of our bedroom window that day. Certainly, it would have been tragic. She would have died instantly.

But Marta didn't push her then, or - if you choose to believe me - at any other time. If she had, all of what we went through would not have happened.

I've told this story as clearly as I could - as rationally as I've been able, in the circumstances, to achieve. I don't regret what we did. And I would do it all again.

'Very stylishly done and chilling too' Georgina Moore

'At once thoroughly modern and deeply traditional, <em>The Four</em> shakes up <em>A Secret History</em> with <em>Mallory Towers</em> to concoct a horrifically thrilling, emotionally gripping story of adolescent fear, pride, and loyalty' Louisa Young
