A series of crimes hints at a vengeful conspiracy.
Lydia is perfectly content with her teenage life. Between homework, perfecting her driving, and furthering a friendship with a certain ranch boy, clues and cases seem miles away—until a nearby break‐in bursts her bubble. Unable to let the mystery go, she and her friends—Ryker, Cody, and Fay—dive into amateur sleuthing yet again. The investigation is strained with altered testimony, an anonymous letter, and a neighborhood that seems all too flawless. As more crimes surface and past fears reemerge, Lydia’s loved ones are thrown right into the drama. Racing against the clock, she must sort through the clues of each case—before the safety of those she cares about becomes further threatened.
What connects these crimes? And how can Lydia solve the riddle before the vengeful ploy is complete?
