In the picturesque town of Oak Point, where gossip spreads faster than wildfire and secrets are currency, high school senior Riley Moore has spent years obsessing over true crime.

The town's star athlete and all around jerk, Jace Hunter, is found dead in a way that is so bizarre, so brutal, that it stuns everyone. The police call it a tragic accident, but Riley knows better. There are too many inconsistencies. The way the body was found, the odd alibis, the eerie social media posts before the murder-it all screams foul play.

Every suspect has a motive. Every clue leads to a new twist. And just when she thinks she's getting close-someone else turns up dead. The real killer is watching. They know she's getting too close.
