Book overview

WINNER OF THE EDGAR ALLEN POE AWARD - From two-time National Book Award finalist of A Long Way from Chicago comes a suspenseful young adult thriller that explores the challenges of those who seek justice in a biased system.

Don't answer the phone.

Gail Osburne is living the good life in suburban Connecticut--until she finds an obscene note in her locker. "Forget it," her friend Alison counsels. But Gail can't forget.

Another note appears . . . and another. Then the phone calls start--and the horrible feeling that someone, somewhere, is watching her and waiting for the chance to strike.

This classic thriller from Richard Peck is a spine-tingling ride from start to finish--one readers won't soon forget.
