Book
Description by Author:
Gather information, report back to me, and do
nothing illegal.
With these instructions received under the
cover of darkness and a list of names, Marcus and Alissa launch an
investigation into their own classmates.
Friendship and investigative skills will be
put to the test as these teen detectives take on their most challenging case
yet. But when their investigation is suddenly shut down without explanation,
the teens have already gathered too many clues to just leave it alone. As
powerful forces work against them at every turn they take, will they be able to
rise above the challenge?
What begins as a quick peek into high school
drama, quickly turns dark and dangerous for the pair as they pursue answers to
the questions someone doesn't want answered.
