Publisher's Synopsis
Every so often. One of their kind. Dies.
One Out of Every Four, actually. The new killers in town will make sure of that.
Violent thriller meets rom-com...
Marcus Dawkins is no stranger to violence. He was five when he saw his dad murdered. Things are better now. At seventeen-years-old, he got into a rich prep school but he's having second thoughts about keeping him and his secret girlfriend as fake strangers ... he's not only hiding her: the old neighborhood he left and his mother returns vengefully when three other boys with similar pasts arrive.
The three new students are the least of his worries: his secret girl's being snooped on by some upper-class jock in the academy - and there's a new gang in town who make the local one look soft. Everyone's hiding something dark in Primes: will Marcus make it out alive, let alone find himself and be secure? The stats say people like him have a one-in-four chance. What happens next-to each of them-could destroy everything. That includes their community and lives.
One week seals this 1's fate. Even for Prime Academy's finest dressed, protected and well-spoken there's no say in the matter. Not for boys like them. In Tonbridge anything's possible. That's the problem ... semi-automatics, drugs and street-beefs are all next-door. Even worse is the new gang who just entered the neighborhood.
