Detective Shelby Reed has been handed a murder case that threatens to strip away all pretensions and preconceived notions about the town of Locust Grove. Whitney Chandler, the All-American high school girl, is dead, and all eyes are on a certain star football player.

Detective Reed and her unwanted "partner," Det. Jasper Erickson must find a way to work together and solve the case. As the case unfolds, Whitney, like many kids struggling to grow up, was not what she seemed to be. Some had an axe to grind, others are in denial, and Shelby is determined to find the killer of the "Bright Girl."

Nancy Basile is the author of several mysteries, including the Riley Sutton trilogy, including "Roadside Homicide" and "A Fatal Fumble." She has also explored the paranormal with "The Haunting of Ivy May."

A West Virginia native, Nancy Basile now lives with her family in Central Pennsylvania. You can find out more about her at her website.
