About this ebook

Available for the first time in ebook format, this special edition includes a new introduction from author Gillian Roberts and an exclusive interview with Amanda Pepper herself! When a high school senior shows signs of mental illness, Amanda attempts to get him help, but she's rebuffed by his parents. When the same boy then becomes the prime suspect in a murder at the Philadelphia Main Library, and runs away, Amanda, who knows he's confused and in need of help-whether or not he committed the crime-has no choice but to run after him. And to run into the possibility of becoming the next victim herself.

About the author

Gillian Roberts is the author of the Anthony-award winning Amanda Pepper mystery series that features a Philadelphia high school English teacher and her significant (but undernamed) other (and now fiancé), C. K. Mackenzie. The geography of the two series is no accident — the author’s a native Philadelphian who now lives in California. She was also once a high school English teacher. Gillian’s also written two books in a second series, featuring a pair of private detectives, Emma Howe and Billie August. Emma’s a “woman of a certain age” who has been running an agency for quite a while, and Billie is the inexperienced young trainee Emma reluctantly has hired. That series is set in Marin County, California and the books are called Time and Trouble and Whatever Doesn’t Kill You.
