Synopsis

Holly Campbell's world has suddenly been turned upside down. Her best friend stands accused of murdering his parents. She knows Cody is innocent, but how can she help him prove it? Holly's father, the detective in charge of the murder investigation, isn't being fair. He's forbidden her to see Cody, and he and her mother are too preoccupied with their failing marriage to listen to reason. Cody's strange neighbor wants to help, but the woman gives Holly the creeps. She's supposed to be a psychic, but the things she's asking Holly to do are frightening and very risky. Known as the grande dame of young adult mystery writers, this four-time Edgar Award-winning author has won a huge following of dedicated fans. Narrator Christina Moore gives perfect voice to the evil and fear that haunt the two teenagers throughout this exciting mystery.
