YA
When a long-dead body is uncovered--with cryptic numbers scratched into the bones--Nearly Boswell (Nearly Gone) investigates, suspecting that her father's old poker club is involved. Despite Nearly's efforts to decipher the criminal's many physics- and chemistry-based riddles, the killer manages to stay one step ahead until the should-have-seen-it-coming end. This suspenseful sequel packs the same degree of chills as its predecessor.
