A summer mystery beyond Las Vegas

On the summer she turns fourteen, the narrator would rather game, eat dumplings, and read about the Civil War than hike outside Las Vegas. A discovery on that outing draws her into a mystery connected to the Red Rock Killer, making the case personal and bringing her into contact with the police. The description places friendship and found family alongside the investigation, while also noting the strain the situation causes for the narrator and her mother. The result is a young adult detective story grounded in a teenager’s friendships and a distinctly Las Vegas setting.

The summer I turn fourteen, so I want to find The Red Rock Killer

Weird, right? We should game, eat dumplings, and read up the Civil War.

But when my two best friends force me to hike outside Las Vegas, we find a barrel that makes the police speed-dial me.

Now The Red Rock Killer feels personal. I need to figure out who would terrorize Sin City.

No matter how much it scares my mom.

Or me.

 

Charlotte Holmes meets Vegas in a quirky YA mystery novel filled with friendship and found family.
