Fiction RBC 2014: A book with a mystery
Panic started in the town of
Carp, population 12,000, for two reasons: because it was summer, and because
there was nothing else to do. Now, Panic has become an institution. Played by
recent high school graduates, participants sign up to compete in literal
life-or-death challenges for the chance to win $67,000. People have died and
two years ago, a girl was left paralysed from the waist down after her car was
tampered with so that she would lose at the last hurdle. Still, Panic goes on.
