From the award-winning, New York Times and Indie bestselling author of Ace of Spades comes a YA mystery about five teen prodigies, their billionaire father, and the aftermath of his murder—perfect for fans of The Inheritance Games, Holly Jackson, and How to Get Away with Murder!
Five prodigies, one dead father, a mansion full of suspects…
Octavius the Maestro.
Fola the Brain.
Bilal the Athlete.
Perdita the Artist.
Romeo the Failure.
These are the five heirs of the illustrious billionaire Leontes Button. Adopted and viciously trained with their father’s infamous “Button Method” to prove his hypothesis for creating prodigies, the Button siblings have had no choice but to be brilliant according to their father's impossibly high standards.
Until he is murdered at his annual Prodigy Ball.
Now, all who attended the ball are required to stay in the Button Manor while the police investigate. But the officers have their work cut out for them—each of the Button siblings has something to hide, yet The Heirs aren't the only ones with secrets. After all, Leontes Button was especially good at making enemies. . .
This compelling story explores how the pressures of being a gifted child can be detrimental and even deadly, as well as the far-reaching effects of wealth unchecked.
