The Charred Warning

by Danielle Renee Wallace

An unusual motive may hold a secret from the past.

Pulling away from high school struggles, Lydia attends a rodeo with her friends—Ryker, Cody, and Fay. But when the evening takes a drastic turn for the worse, the teens are thrown into a confusing case involving smoke and flames.
Lydia struggles inside once a potential clue from the abandoned bus is stolen. And trouble spreads as it seems someone holds a grudge against Ryker and Cody Nobleman’s family. Now, the brothers’ participation in the rodeo is concerning. A fire of frustration grows while Lydia’s search to solve the case meets dead ends.
Burn patterns, a misplaced message, and the pursuit of a past individual expose unpleasant memories. But Lydia must piece the evidence together before further trouble befalls her friends.

How can Lydia discover who caused the rodeo’s disaster? And what do they have against the Nobleman family?
