YA
The new kid, going by "Nick" (for now), must learn to fit in without standing out--his family isn't allowed another witness protection relocation. But when a friend turns up dead after collecting some damning information on mysterious local goings-on, blending in is no longer an option. Smart, punchy teen dialogue; a strong African American protagonist; and non-stop twists and turns make this mystery pop.
