The Hand on the Wall — Special Edition

A shadow hangs over Ellingham. Three deaths have rocked the school: the first, perhaps a prank gone wrong... or a murder; the second, the result of bad luck; and now, a new "accident" has claimed another life. All the victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time — precisely when Stevie Bell believes she has solved the greatest mystery of the century: the true identity of the Cordially Cruel. Or so she thinks.

With this latest tragedy, it is difficult to focus on the past. A new grief weighs heavily on the community, David disappears mysteriously, and everything indicates that he is planning something. For Stevie, none of this is a coincidence. She is convinced that everything is connected: the recent deaths, the old crimes, the disappearance of Alice Ellingham... and now, that of David Eastman as well.

Amidst enigmas, secrets, and hidden clues, the answers must be somewhere in that place.

When a violent storm threatens to hit Vermont, the school is evacuated by decision of the parents and administrators. But Stevie stays — determined to face the storm… and the killer.

An intelligent and compelling mystery, in which every thread of the intrigue intertwines with precision to culminate in an explosive ending — perfect for those who have walked the corridors of Ellingham Institute since the beginning.
