Seventeen-year-old Kay and her family left their sleepy hometown of Longrove under a dark shadow of grief, hoping for a fresh start in London. But one year on, with her parents jetting off on holiday, Kay is back in Longrove, and not everyone is happy to see her.
When a sinister note from someone calling themselves Monday appears on her bed, promising a week of revenge-laden games which will culminate in her death, Kay doesn’t know what to think. Is it all a weird joke and, if not, who is the illusive Monday? From suspicious ex-friends to the ominous town Committee who are intent on blocking progress, suspects are plentiful, the clock is ticking and not everybody will be alive when it stops.
