| Publisher Description: From the critically acclaimed author of Honor Girl, comes a "sassy, sultry whodunit" (School Library Journal) set in an Atlanta boarding school that's infused with subversive humor and featuring a cast of bizarre and unforgettable characters. It's better to know the truth. At least sometimes. Halfway through Friday night's football game, beautiful cheerleader Brittany Montague--dressed as the giant Winship Wildcat mascot--hurls herself off a bridge into Atlanta's surging Chattahoochee River. Just like that, she's gone. Eight days later, Benny Flax and Virginia Leeds will be the only ones who know why. Their search for the truth reveals a web of depravity hiding in plain sight at their picture perfect school. When love becomes obsession, how far will someone go to make their twisted fantasies a reality? And who has the power to stop them? A twisty, turny mystery loaded with the perfect punch of satire and heart. |
