A young-adult thriller ricocheting between the bigotry of the past
and present as teens unravel their parents' secrets. Perfect for
fans of One of Us is Lying -- now in paperback!Four teens have dug
up the time capsule that their parents buried in 1986 and never
bothered to recover. But in addition to the expected ephemera of
mixtapes, Walkmans, photographs, letters, toys, and assorted junk,
Elayah, Liam, Marcie, and Jorja discover something sinister: a
hunting knife stained with blood and wrapped with a note. "I'm
sorry. I didn't mean to kill anyone."As the action dramatically
alternates between the present day and 1986, the mystery unfolds
and the sins of the past echo into today. The teens haven't just
unearthed a time capsule: they've also dug up pain and secrets that
someone--maybe one of their own parents--is willing to kill for.

dig up the time capsule their parents' generation had buried during
their high school days in the 1980s. But in addition to the
expected usual ephemera: mix-tapes, Walkmans, photographs, letters,
action figures, and other miscellaneous junk, they discover
something more sinister-a large hunting knife wrapped with a note:
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kill anyone." Is it a murder weapon?
As the action dramatically ricochets between the present day and
1986, the mystery gradually unfolds. And yes, someone was killed,
and the knife was the murder weapon. The teens haven't just
unearthed the time capsule, they've also unearthed painful
secrets...

A chunk of old memory, adrift in a pool of blood. Sebastian Cody
did something horrible, something no one--not even Sebastian
himself--can forgive. At the age of four, he accidentally shot and
killed his infant sister with his father's gun. Now, ten years
later, Sebastian has lived with the guilt and horror for his entire
life. With his best friend away for the summer, Sebastian has only
a new friend--Aneesa--to distract him from his darkest thoughts.
But even this relationship cannot blunt the pain of his past.
Because Sebastian knows exactly how to rectify his childhood crime
and sanctify his past. It took a gun to get him into this. Now he
needs a gun to get out. Unflinching and honest, Bang is as true and
as relevant as tomorrow's headlines, the story of one boy and one
moment in time that cannot be reclaimed.
Several Months have passed since Jazz helped the Lobo's Nod police
force catch the serial killer known as the Impressionist. Every day
since then, Jazz has dealt with the guilt of knowing he was
responsible for his father's escape from prison. Now Billy Dent is
on the loose, ready to kill again.
Jazz's reputation has spread far beyond the borders of his sleepy
hometown, and when a determined New York City detective comes
knocking on Jazz's door asking for help with a new case, Jazz can't
say no. The Hat-Dog Killer has the Big Apple in a panic, and the
police are running scared.
Jazz has already solved one crime, but at a high cost. Innocent
people were murdered because of him. Is the Hat-Dog Killer his
means of redemption? Or will Jazz get caught up in a killer's
murderous game?
And somewhere out there, Billy is watching...and waiting.
