Sports star Cooper only knows what he's doing in the baseball diamond.

Bad boy Nate is one misstep away from a life of crime.

Prom queen Addy is holding together the cracks in her perfect life.

And outsider Simon, creator of the notorious gossip app at Bayview High, won't ever talk about any of them again.

He dies 24 hours before he could post their deepest secrets online. Investigators conclude it's no accident. All of them are suspects.

Everyone has secrets, right?

What really matters is how far you'll go to protect them.

Welcome back to Bayview High . . .

It is a year after the action of One of Us Is Lying, and someone has started playing a game of Truth or Dare.

The teenagers of Bayview must work together once again to find the culprit, before it's too late . . .

From international bestseller Karen M. McManus comes the explosive conclusion to the acclaimed One of Us Is Lying trilogy - now available in a bold new cover look complete with a inky black background and matching sprayed edges.

Life hasn't been easy for the teenagers of Bayview. First they had to prove they weren't killers. Then outwit a vengeful copycat. Now, it's beginning again.

At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke:

Time for a new game, Bayview. . .

But when a student disappears, it's clear this 'game' has deadly consequences - and no-one knows the rules.

Simon was right about secrets - they all come out in the end.
