Kate
White rises to the pinnacle of modern suspense with The Sixes, a
page-turning stand-alone thriller from the New York Times bestselling
author of Hush, and the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan
magazine. With taught prose evocative of Laura Lippman’s
Life Sentences and Dennis Lehane’s Moonlight
Mile, White paints the sinister picture of a quiet Pennsylvania
college town left shaken after a mysterious death precipitates a cascade of
evil events on campus. When new teacher Phoebe Hall undertakes the dangerous
quest of uncovering the truth behind the ghastly recent happenings, her
investigation will send her into the clutches of a deadly secret society—the
Sixes—and unearth the dark relics of her own long-buried past.
Right after Phoebe Hall's long-term boyfriend breaks off their relationship, she's falsely accused of plagiarizing her latest bestselling celebrity biography. Looking for a quiet place to put her life back together, she jumps at the offer to teach in a small private college in Pennsylvania run by her former boarding school roommate. But something evil lurks behind the quiet campus cafés and leafy maple trees. When the body of a female student washes up on the banks of a nearby river, disturbing accusations begin to surface about abuses wrought by a secret campus society known as The Sixes. Haunted by memories of her own school days, Phoebe launches a private investigation, and soon finds herself in the middle of a real-life nightmare, not knowing whom she can trust and if she will even survive. Because with the truth comes a terrifying revelation: your darkest secrets can still be uncovered . . . and starting over may be a crime punishable by death.

Vanity Fair
“A coed’s gone missing at leafy Lyle College, and visiting prof Phoebe Hall is asking too many questions. A nifty spine-tingler.”

Sara Shepard, author of the bestselling Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game
“Cosmo editor-in-chief White’s prose--like a brisk walk through a tree-lined campus in autumn--is perfectly suited to the setting and tone of this stand-alone mystery thriller about mean girl games run amok. . . . A worthy end-of-summer beach read.”
