What this book is about

For her senior capstone project, Pip Fitz-Amobi chooses to reinvestigate a murder case that everyone in her small town considers settled. Five years ago, Andie Bell was killed and her boyfriend Sal Singh was blamed — but Sal's family insists he was innocent. What Pip finds as she digs deeper is more dangerous than she expected. Holly Jackson's YA mystery is sharp, compulsive, and genuinely suspenseful.
