When teenager Andi MacNeil decides to take up a weekend job in her local shopping mall she feels from the outset that 'some part of her that was alert to danger' is 'telling her to watch out'. Whatever the source of these promptings, they turn out to be fully justified. Andi soon finds herself in a sinister sequence of events involving abducted young women, drug dealing, near-strangulation on a moving staircase, crossbow attacks and a terrifying act of arson. These combine to provide material for a narrative which Breslin manipulates with considerable skill, keeping us in suspense throughout as to where villainy and virtue are really to be found.
