Sara's college roommates were the family she never had: Bee the political hopeful, Dina the academic prodigy, Allie the family girl, Wesley the hard-partying heiress, and Claudine the Southern belle--the closest thing Sara had ever known to a sister. But their senior year, Claudine died, and everything changed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwenty years later, the five college roommates still indulge in a secret tradition they've kept alive since their campus days: the Circus, a harmless assassin-style game played across the private rooms and secret alleys of New York City. The game is the glue that keeps them close and a nod to the sixth roommate they lost too young, but this time around Sara keeps catching inexplicable glimpses of Claudine. She wants out of the Circus until she discovers a small fortune awaits the winner of this final round and agrees out of loyalty and desperation to play one last time. As the Circus unfolds, Sara suspects the others aren't playing by the rules. When the game heats up and the roommates start pointing fingers, she discovers that even her closest friends have been keeping secrets that now threaten to destroy them all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlissa Lee is a writer and former tech lawyer.
