For fans of the sports backdrop and queer cast of Heated Rivalry comes a fresh and darkly funny 90s murder mystery about one high school's net of lies that begin to unravel when a star lacrosse player winds up dead.

The night before graduation, all of Hancock High celebrates at their school’s annual lock-in. But what starts out as a fun night turns horribly wrong when a body is found—and the victim is none other than Troy Richards, the school’s star lacrosse player.

Everyone is acting totally clueless. As for suspects? There’s Jennifer (the dream girl), Naomi (the geek), Sassi (the overachiever), and Tatum (the rebel). At a glance, it seems like they couldn’t be more unalike, except for the fact that they all hated Troy (the lax bro) . . . but who wanted him dead?

From debut author Charlotte Lillie Balogh comes a wickedly sharp take on high school stereotypes, including the boys we love and love to hate: lax bros.

"A love letter to the 1990s wrapped in a psychologically twisted whodunit. Fans of Karen M. McManus or Diana Urban will devour this book." —Booklist

“Utterly impossible to put down . . . I still get goose bumps thinking about how it all ends.” —Jordyn Taylor, USA Today bestselling author of Wicked Darlings and The Revenge Game

“Reading this was like inhaling a Pixy Stix only to find out it might be laced with poison. A compulsive, whip-smart read.” —Trish Lundy, author of The One That Got Away with Murder

“Twisty, hilarious, and lethal” —Matthew Hubbard, critically-acclaimed author of The Rebel’s Guide to Pride

“Balogh’s debut is a reading rush you won’t want to miss.” —Mackenzie Reed, author of The Rosewood Hunt and The Wilde Trials
