How far will teen girls go for approval from their peers? Pretty far, it turns out. When pretty, smart Sara Long is found bludgeoned to death, it's easy to blame the man with the bat. But when Georgia Davis -- former cop and newly-minted PI -- is hired to look into the incident at the behest of the accused's sister, what she finds hints at a much different, much darker answer. It seems the privileged, affluent schoolgirls on Chicago's North Shore have learned just how much their innocence is worth to hot-under-the-collar businessmen. But while these girls can pay for their newly gotten Prada pricetags, they don't realize that their new business venture may end up costing them more than they can afford. I'll post chapters one at a time, but if you just HAVE to find out what happens before they're all up, here's where you can buy the ebook (It's also available in paperback and audio, btw): http://amzn.com/B001UE8J4Y https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/easy-innocence/id586071761?mt=11 http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/easy-innocence
