No-romance Stories

One dead valedictorian. Five suspects. Zero clear motives. When high-achieving student Arthur Pendelton is found dead in the Elmridge High chemistry lab on the eve of graduation, the police rule it an accidental chemical spill. But 17-year-old school journalist Maya Lin isn't buying it. Arthur was meticulous. He didn't make sloppy lab errors. Armed only with her audio recorder and a sharp eye for contradictions, Maya launches her own investigation. As she interviews Arthur's closest peers, she uncovers a web of academic fraud, blackmail, and deep-seated resentment. In a school obsessed with perfection, someone was willing to kill to protect their secrets. Maya must solve the puzzle before the killer erases the evidence-and her along with it. No romance. No distractions. Just pure deduction.

I am dead. I have escaped but I have nowhere to run. All my loved ones believe I died three years ago. I was to protect my identity and save their lives.
