**Lord of the Flies meets Never Let Me Go in this "moving and
totally involving" (Stephen King) dystopian thriller from the
internationally best-selling author of Behind Her Eyes
**
Toby's life was perfectly normal . . . until it was unraveled by
something as simple as a blood test.
Taken from his family, Toby now lives in the Death House; an out-of-time
existence far from the modern world, where he, and the others who live
there, are studied by Matron and her team of nurses. They're looking for
any sign of sickness. Any sign of their wards changing. Any sign that
it's time to take them to the sanatorium.
No one returns from the sanatorium.
Living in his memories of the past, Toby spends his days fighting his
fear. But then a new arrival in the house shatters the fragile peace,
and everything changes. Because everybody dies. It's how you choose to
live that counts.
