SINOSSI
In New York Times
bestselling author Maureen Johnson’s second novel in the Truly Devious
series, there are more twists and turns than Stevie Bell can imagine. No
answer is given freely, and someone will pay for the truth with their
life.
The Truly Devious case—an unsolved kidnapping and
triple murder that rocked Ellingham Academy in 1936—has consumed Stevie
for years. It’s the very reason she came to the academy. But then her
classmate was murdered, and her parents quickly pull her out of school.
For her safety, they say. She must move past this obsession with crime.
Stevie’s
willing to do anything to get back to Ellingham, be back with her
friends, and solve the Truly Devious case. Even if it means making a
deal with the despicable Senator Edward King. And when Stevie finally
returns, she also returns to David: the guy she kissed, and the guy who
lied about his identity—Edward King’s son.
But larger issues are
at play. Where did the murderer hide? What’s the meaning of the riddle
Albert Ellingham left behind? And what, exactly, is at stake in the
Truly Devious affair? The Ellingham case isn’t just a piece of
history—it’s a live wire into the present.
Praise for Book One:
“The
Agatha Christie-like ecosystem pairs with lacerating contemporary wit,
and alternating past and present scenes makes for a multilayered, modern
detective story.” —New York Times Book Review
“Remember
the first time reading Harry Potter and knowing it was special? There’s
that same sense of magic in the introduction of teen
Sherlock-in-training Stevie Bell.” —USA Today (four stars)
“Be still, my Agatha-Christie-loving beating heart.” —Bustle
