Abby Goodwin is the dependable, straight-A student, while her sister, Maya is heavily into tattoos, piercings, and drugs. Because she is doing so poorly in school, her parents hire a tutor for her, Jefferson Andrews. Although Jeff's family is not nearly as well-to-do as the Goodwins, he is the golden boy at high school and valedictorian of his class. Unfortunately, he is also a drug-dealer and a gigolo. When Abby goes running one morning, she discovers Jeff's lifeless body in a ravine. He looks like he has been murdered and Abby is afraid Maya did it. Abby has covered for Maya her entire life so it is natural for her to spirit her sister away and begin an investigation into the murder. This preliminary nominee for the Gateway Award is a page-turner with several interesting plot twists and a surprise ending.
