St Lucius Sixth Form College on the remote island of Trelewan prides itself on being one of the most private and exclusive boarding schools in the world. Its students, the children of high profile figures in the fields of entertainment, sports and politics are infinitely rich and privileged and yet they all have secrets in their pasts which necessitate their isolation from society. Amelia Cross, daughter of the notorious Robert Cross, âNoughts and Crosses Killerâ, has more reason than most to want to hide away. With her picture splashed across the front pages of newspapers alongside her father, many people wrongfully believe she played a part in his horrific crimes. Now with her father behind bars she wants to move on with her life. There is little chance of that however, when a fellow student is murdered, bearing the same marks as her fatherâs victims, and she is labelled suspect number 1. A face from the past returns and Amelia has no choice but to try and unmask the murderer before she is arrested for a crime she did not commit. With the help of her friend Magnus, a Swedish computer hacker, and two unconventional and unpredictable agents planted at St Lucius by her father, Amelia starts to delve into the pasts of her fellow students. Can she find out who the killer is before they strike again?
