Description
Aspiring PI Jolene Kelley is skipping class at her fancy new private school, North Shore Prep, when she witnesses her beloved guidance counsellor fall in front of an oncoming L train. The police call Mr. Medina's death a tragic accident, but Jo knows what she saw: this was murder. With help from her friends Sabrina and Frankie, and the inside scoop from her public-defender parents and her mentor at the state attorney's office, Jo opens up her own investigation into Mr. Medina's death. Jo's investigation uncovers a scandal brewing at North Shore Prep. Mr. Medina had found out about it and now he's dead. Jo has a slew of suspects, including administrators, students, parents and even local politicians. Can she figure out which one is the killer before she becomes their next victim? This original Hunt A Killer novel features all new characters, designed in-world clues and a mystery not seen in the games!
Author Biography
A. M. Ellis is an author and a lover of all things steeped in mystery, magic, and mythology. Hailing from the suburbs of Washington, DC, she lives with her husband and three kids while working as a senior brand and creative manager for a non-profit focused on ending childhood hunger. Her stories are often inspired by her adventurous daydreams and the characters in her life, blended with her own experience as a Black woman with neurodivergent children. If she's not writing or designing, you can find her nose deep in a book or playing video games with her family.
