Book Description:
When fifteen-year-old Riley Crane
finds out her best friend Olivia is being abused at home, she knows just who to
turn to: her mother Claire, writer and spokesperson for President Gray's
Parental Morality Law. Under this law, Task Force Officers remove children from
their homes if their parents do not meet certain guidelines, taking them to
government-run boarding schools. Once they arrive, supervisors rehabilitate
them, turning them into productive members of society. Or at least that was how
it was supposed to work...
Now, after a government official
threatens to make Riley the law's latest victim, Riley and Claire must rely on
Cain Foley, a gifted killer with a tongue as sharp as the knives he carries, to
get them out of America alive. Though he slices through men's necks as if they
are warm butter, Riley can't seem to keep her cheeks from flushing every time
he speaks. But when they stumble upon a deserted boarding school, Riley sees
that escaping the country is only part of their problem. Together, Riley and Cain
figure out that a killer can save a life, and a mother can damn a nation

Excerpt:
Sometimes a
killer can save a life. In this case that life happened to be mine. I wish I
had met him before the whole mess started. Maybe he could have saved more of
us.
Maybe he could
have saved us all.
I met the man
who saved my life exactly one month after he killed his twentieth person. Of
course he didn’t call it “murder,” he called it surviving, though sometimes I
thought he should try to explain the difference to the people buried in the
ground. To me, one label didn’t necessarily cancel out the other.
