Sixteen-year-old Calliope Bolan joins a powerful secret society at her new boarding school, hoping to find answers about her mother's death, but she becomes involved in a dangerous campaign for revenge that threatens her new friendships. Six years ago Calliope Bolan's mother drove the family van into a lake with her three daughters inside. The girls escaped; their mother drowned. The truth behind the "accident" remains a mystery. Transferred to Tipton Academy, the elite boarding school her mother once attended, Calliope is invited to join Haunt and Rail, an exclusive secret society that looms over campus like a legend. She enters the world of the "ghosts," a society fighting for social justice. But some of the Haunt and Rail members define justice differently than others. As Calliope uncovers a possible link between Haunt and Rail and her mother's crash, the society's tactics escalate. - adapted from jacket
