Stevie Bell solved the case of Truly Devious, and now she's taking
her detecting skills abroad when she becomes embroiled in a mystery
from 1990s England. Another pulse-pounding and laugh-out-loud
stand-alone mystery from New York Times bestselling author Maureen
Johnson. Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn't
going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her
friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case
of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to
distract her from the questions pinging around her brain-questions
about college, love, and life in general. Relief comes when David
invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and
his new friend Izzy introduces her to a double-murder cold case. In
1995, nine friends from Cambridge University went to a country
house and played a drunken game of hide-and-seek. Two were found in
the woodshed the next day, murdered with an ax. The case was
assumed to be a burglary gone wrong, but one of the remaining seven
saw something she can't explain. This was no break-in. Someone's
lying about what happened in the woodshed. Seven suspects. Two
murders. One killer still playing a deadly game.

Champion. Nicknamed "The Greatest," Ali was as well known for his
unique boxing style, consisting of the Ali Shuffle and the
rope-a-dope, as he was for the catchphrase "float like a butterfly,

beauty and grace to a very rough sport and became one of the
world's most famous cultural icons. Read "Who Is Muhammad Ali?" and
discover "The Greatest."
