(3) YA Biracial British teen Garvie Smith (Running Girl) has a Sherlock Holmes–like intellect but is a lazy underachiever on the verge of flunking out. He becomes fixated on solving the murder of an autistic classmate, much to the chagrin of recently demoted Inspector Singh. High tension, skillful pacing, surprising plot twists, and intelligent yet flawed characters combine for an intriguing second mystery.
