The Read siblings may have lived in Elwood City their whole lives, but when a body turns up in the woods near their home, the town no longer feels safe.
Overwhelmed by the success of his first graphic novel, Arthur struggles to navigate the world as an unexpected celebrity. Known for her ambitious spirit and stellar grades in college, DW can't help but feel like a failure after dropping out of graduate school and moving back home with her tail between her legs-her new career as a traffic cop may keep her busy, but it doesn't erase the shame. Kate has always been the baby of the family, and, now in her twenties, she's desperate to leave Elwood City Community College and finish her studies on the opposite side of the country.
None of them planned to get tangled up in the mystery that has the entire town on edge-but if they don't try to solve the murder, one of them may take the fall.
