Take Her Down

When three high school soccer players and their families find themselves booked at a remote, run-down lodge instead of the hotel where where the rest of their team is staying, tensions run high—and not just because they’re traveling for a major tournament. When one of them, Tory Decker, is murdered in the night, the investigation shines a light on everyone, and no one’s buried secrets are safe.

Sixteen-year-old Olivia has always been something of an outcast, even before her little brother’s high-profile, suspicious death. So, when Olivia’s infamous mother—freshly out of prison and practically a stranger—comes along to the tournament, Tory’s bullying reaches a new level.

Star player Roselyn knows the showcase tournament is her moment to shine. But she hides a violent streak that got her kicked off her last team. With scouts watching and college scholarships on the line, Ros can only take so much of Tory trying to steal her spotlight.

Casey dreams of following in the footsteps of her soccer star older brother, Drew, and is thrilled that he’s come to watch her play. But when Drew spends all his time getting fawned on by the other girls, Casey gets annoyed and wanders off—and sees a little too much between Tory’s mom and Coach.

Told in multiple perspectives and timelines, this is a twisty, propulsive, keep-you-guessing thriller.
