THE BETRAYAL OF NATALIE HARGROVE features the most ruthlessly ambitious heroine since Lady Macbeth. Natalie is utterly determined to cement her position at the top of the high school social ladder by becoming prom queen. When it looks like an interfering ex-boyfriend might get in her way, she devises a little prank to humiliate him. But when it goes devastatingly wrong, Natalie's careful plans begin to unravel. Caught in a web of dark secrets, shame and scandal, it's not guilt that eventually defeats Natalie. It's fate: the only thing she can't control. THE BETRAYAL OF NATALIE HARGROVE will be published in paperback in January 2011. Alex Antscherl comments, 'We are delighted to be publishing this irresistible and deliciously dark novel from a very talented author.'
