Thugs

by J. Richard Singleton

A teenage girl is found dead on the PCH, and a lapel pin from the elite Monroe Academy leads two LAPD Detectives, the jaded Deanne Carter and the naive former Monroe student Mary Wilkes to Seacrest, California, America's wealthiest town.

Meanwhile, former troublemaker Sullivan Stokes, is brough into a murderous conspiracy by teenage sociopath Maire Valette. The dead girl was the product of her clique's "prank," and now they need a serious badass to help dispose of the corpse. If he refuses this request, they'll kill his girlfriend.

With Carter and Wilkes believing he's the killer, he must save his girlfriend, unravel the conspiracy and somehow stay alive...
