Five Survive
Eight hours. Six friends. One sniper. Eighteen-year-old Red and her friends are headed for a carefree Spring Break, road-tripping to the beach in an RV. Music is blasting, laughter fills the air, and the future feels wide open. Until the RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere. No signal. No help. No one for miles. Then the first shot rings out. The tires are blown. The message is clear. This is no accident. A sniper is out there in the darkness — watching them. Waiting. And he knows exactly who they are. As panic sets in, the friends realize one of them is the real target. Someone is hiding a secret worth killing for. Trapped inside the claustrophobic RV, suspicion spreads faster than fear. Alliances fracture. Accusations fly. With every passing minute, the game turns deadlier. Because not everyone will survive the night.
About Author
Holly Jackson has revitalized the young adult mystery genre with her intricately plotted, contemporary thrillers that combine authentic teen voices with sophisticated crime storytelling. Her debut 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' launched an international phenomenon, spending years on bestseller lists and inspiring a television adaptation, while introducing protagonist Pip Fitz-Amobi who uses modern technology and true crime podcast techniques to solve cold cases. Jackson's background in English literature and linguistics informs her careful plotting and character development, with each novel featuring maps, transcripts, and multimedia elements that enhance the investigative narrative. The subsequent books in her trilogy—'Good Girl, Bad Blood' and 'As Good as Dead'—maintain the high stakes while exploring darker themes as her protagonist becomes increasingly entangled in the crimes she investigates. Jackson's success demonstrates the ongoing appeal of clever, puzzle-box mysteries for teen readers and her ability to modernize classic detective fiction structures for the digital age.
