The Secret Staircase
Stevie has finally found a crucial lead on the blackmailer hiding behind the name Cordially Cruel. But after a colleague’s tragic accident, her parents withdraw her from school, saying it is for her own safety and that she must overcome this obsession with crime. Now that Stevie is away from school, her secret tunnels and her strange and captivating friends, she begins to feel disconnected from the rest of the world. At least she won’t have to see David again. The same David she kissed and who lied to her about his identity and about being the son of the disgraced politician Edward King.
However, Edward King proposes a deal: bring Stevie back to Ellingham Institute in exchange for her being nice to David. If Stevie stays at school, David will behave. The tantalising mysteries behind the Ellingham murders are still waiting to be unravelled, and Stevie knows she is very close. But the path to the truth has more twists and turns than she can imagine—and moving forward means hurting someone she loves.
Thrilling and humorous, Maureen Johnson dives once again into the macabre world of Ellingham Institute and delivers spine-tingling excitement in the style of Agatha Christie.
