Is anyone really safe? At nineteen years old, violin virtuosa Serena Brinkman seems to have it all. A student at Tilton University, she's got good looks, money, people who love her, and rare musical talent. She's also got a valuable Amati violin, a musical rival, friends whose secrets she knows, and an obsessed fan. Serena's dreams are shattered when she dies on the night of a major music competition. Serena's partner is convinced that her death wasn't an accident, and asks for help from Dr. Joel Williams of Tilton's Department of Criminal Justice. Williams, a former detective, soon finds that, far from keeping her safe, Serena's privilege and talent made her vulnerable.

They Said It Was a Tragedy. They Said It Was an Accident. They Lied. Second Chance is a Philadelphia alternative school designed for at-risk students. They live on campus, they take classes, and everyone hopes they'll stay out of prison. And then one of them dies. When Curtis Templeton falls from a piece of scaffolding near the school, it's called a tragic accident. A damned shame. A terrible loss. And everyone moves on.Two years later, former police detective-turned-professor Joel Williams and two of his colleagues do a study of Second Chance for a research paper. When they find out about Curtis' death, they start asking questions. And no-one wants to answer them. The search for the truth takes Williams and his research partners behind the scenes of for-profit alternative education - and straight into the path of someone who thought everything would stay buried. In the meantime, changes are coming to Tilton University. The School of Social Sciences is going to be the new home of a center for research on juvenile offenders. But not everyone is happy about it. YouthPromises, the company that's underwriting the center, is a for-profit alternative program that has a stake in the outcome of any research the center does. What will that mean for the faculty? Williams finds himself caught in the controversy over the center, just as he's finding out the truth about Second Chance.
