A girl searches for the truth when two of her classmates are caught in the crosshairs of a murder mystery in this Edgar Award–winning novel from Willo Davis Roberts.
Cici expected the summer to be special. She had no idea it would change her life forever.

Two kids, two lives, ruined before they even began. One, a girl, dead—strangled in an empty cabin. The other, a boy, spending the rest of his life in jail for her murder.

To Cici, it all seems so unreal. These were kids she had grown up with, whom she had known. She can't believe Brody Shurik could have murdered Zoe Cyrek. Something's going on here, and Cici's going to find out exactly what it is.

But Cici has an even harder time believing what she uncovers. Could the murderer really be someone close to her? Maybe even a member of her family? And if Cici's on the right track, could she become the murderer's target?]]> Sat, 30 Oct 1993 22:09:42 +0200 The Pet-Sitting Peril https://mystery.library.land/willo-davis-roberts/60242-the_pet-sitting_peril.html https://mystery.library.land/willo-davis-roberts/60242-the_pet-sitting_peril.html
