Bury the Lead

Description

Sherlock Holmes may not have been a journalist, but that doesn’t stop eighteen-year-old Kennedy Carter from embracing his methods. With her sights set on becoming an investigative reporter, the high school senior lives by the consulting detective’s rules: observe the obvious, eliminate the impossible, and avoid romantic entanglements at all costs. Unfortunately, her very own Watson, kind-hearted photographer Ravi Burman, is doing his best to throw a monkey wrench into that last one.

Kennedy has one goal for senior year and it isn’t to fall in love. She wants to win the $10,000 ‘Excellence in Emerging Journalism’ award so she can finally escape her backwoods town and see the world. She has no interest in complicating that with a relationship, especially not with her best friend, especially not when she’s asexual, and especially not when she has a murder to solve.

To find the killer preying on her graduating class, she and Ravi team up to investigate the deaths and the origins of a local urban legend that could uncover the story of a lifetime—if it doesn’t cost them their lives.
