Wildcat Academy

A Family Gathering. A Hidden Secret. A Deadly Fall.

When Boston library curator Kathryn Stinson visits the Berkshires during a reunion with her estranged mother and other family members, she doesn’t expect trouble. But that’s what she and her family get when her stepsister’s teenage son, a student at a secluded private academy, is found dead beneath a zipline—an area he feared, and a place he never should have been.

As suspicions swirl around the boy’s death, Kathryn is drawn into a tense search for the truth. Was it a tragic accident, or something more sinister? With resistance from the academy and locals alike, Kathryn must navigate layered family dynamics and hidden tensions, uncovering secrets that some will do anything to protect.
