Hard Fall

Rook Radcliffe Mysteries: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Strong doesn't mean invincible.

A fall down a staircase.

A crash from a balcony.

Two near-deaths at one party.

Athletes are being hazed and hurt at wealthy Highland High, but everyone seems determined to keep silent.

Rook Radcliffe is used to ugly realities—and to handling them alone. Theo Locke is making that increasingly difficult. He’s becoming her actual friend. She likes being around him. She might even trust him—and that scares her worse than attempted murder.

Theo knows she’s hiding a past she won’t discuss. He could easily find the answers. Instead, he waits for Rook to give them—and tries not to notice as she grows much more important to him than she was supposed to.

Together, they uncover what’s happening at Highland High.

But knowing the truth doesn’t erase the evil.
