About the Book
Reluctant teen detective Stevie Baker arrives at college determined to leave murder behind—until she finds a classmate dead and lands on the suspect list—in this gripping young adult thriller and sequel to Drop Dead Famous.
Stevie Baker arrives at college for a fresh start. After solving her famous sister’s murder and watching her family’s secrets play out on national news, she’s ready for normal: classes, dorm life, maybe even a few parties.
Then Stevie finds a classmate dead in his dorm room—and evidence begins to point to her.
Stevie knows better than to wait for someone else to uncover the truth. With her best friend, Colby, by her side, Stevie begins digging into what really happened. But the deeper they look, the stranger the case becomes: a missing girl who was never who she claimed to be, a fraternity determined to protect its own, and a decades-old campus death someone powerful wants forgotten.
Now Stevie must untangle these secrets before another body turns up—or before the police decide they already have their killer.
