"One summer changes everything. Two kids, two lives -- ruined before they even began. One, a girl, dead - strangled in an empty cabin. The other, a boy, spending the rest of his life in jail for her murder. To Cici, it all seems so unreal. These were kids she had grown up with, whom she had known. She can't believe Brody Shurik could have murdered Zoe Cyrek. Something's going on here, and Cici's going to find out exactly what it is. But Cici has an even harder time believing what she uncovers. Could the murderer really be someone close to her? Maybe even a member of her family? And could she be the murderer's next target?" -- back cover.
