As he digs deeper into the mystery, Colin begins to uncover a trail of murder and corruption extending beyond his worst nightmares.  He's going to need every last bit of his investigative ability and insider knowledge of how the school operates to get to the bottom of it all because the police are starting to zero in on him as their prime suspect...and the real killer is closer than he thinks.
