#panic by Luke Jennings

The troubled small-town lives of four online best friends, superfans of the hit TV show City Of Night, are changed forever when they stumble upon the show’s star, Alice Temple, standing over the dead body of her husband. Implicated in the murder, the four must go on the run across the American South with one of the most famous actresses in the world, while attempting to evade the police, the Russian mafia, and an absurd but terrifying new far-right movement, the Legion. Can they keep running for long enough to uncover the truth about Alice, and discover themselves in the process? `panic is a topical, subversive, and wildly enjoyable new coming-of-age tale from Luke Jennings, the author of the ‘Killing Eve’ novels.
