Murder in 4th Hour

The peaceful city of Fairview has been untouched by murders in over two years. Now, in the span of half an hour, the bodies of two teachers—brothers—are discovered at Fairview High in the middle of the day. One was stabbed, the other poisoned. For the incredibly calculating wannabe sleuth Chris Doyle, a self-stylized Sherlock Holmes, there is a case here, one that he wants to solve before his father, the chief of police. His best friend Jack, however, just wants to understand why Jennifer Johnson, the most gorgeous girl in their class, is suddenly interested in dating him. As the tension mounts at revelations of would-be family inheritance and plots of blackmail and bribery, Jack’s friendship is tested with an increasingly obsessed Doyle. Jack puts everything on the line to find justice for their murdered teachers—if only he can find the right killer in time. Murder in 4th Hour is a gripping young adult novel that brings a refreshing take on the classic detective adventure, an enjoyable read for mystery buffs of all ages.
