The Puppet Master

Gwendolyn "Gwen" Donnelly has only ever wanted one thing in her life: become class president.

In her senior year of high school a shocking murder throws a wrench into her plans. Gwen finds out that her favourite history teacher has been murdered and that he isn't the first nor the last victim. She is determined to catch the person responsible even if it means working with her rival.

Theo Lockwood has two goals in life.

One: become the best football player in the history of Saint Alderidge Academy.

Two: become class president.

With his father pressuring him day and night, failure is not an option. When he finds out about Gwen trying to be the next Sherlock Holmes he decides to help her out in the hopes it will distract her long enough so that he can become class president.

As their investigation continues the lines between the rivals start to blur into something more.

Will their little investigation lead to them solving the case or will it only lead to another corpse in the morgue?
