Laura Lippman grew up in Baltimore and returned to her hometown in 1989 to work as a journalist. After writing seven books while still a full-time reporter, she left the Baltimore Sun to focus on fiction. The author of two New York Times bestsellers, What the Dead Know and Another Thing to Fall, she has won numerous awards for her work, including the Edgar, Quill, Anthony, Nero Wolfe, Agatha, Gumshoe, Barry, and Macavity.
A school shooting incident is not what it first appears to be, in Laura Lippman's mystery-thriller. A trio of teenaged girls is involved, but a dogged police detective quickly discovers how difficult it can be to get the straight scoop from strong-willed adolescent females.
