Description

When Peter Smith's classmate snaps a picture of him during an early-morning workout at the track, Peter thinks he might be in trouble. When she tweets that photo-along with the caption, "See the Pretty Boy Run,"-Peter knows he's in trouble. But when snipers drop through the ceiling and take out his Chem teacher with a Bunsen burner, Peter's pretty sure his trouble just became a national emergency. Because he's not really Peter Smith. He's Jake Morrow, former foster-kid turned CIA operative. After a massive screw up on his first mission, he's on a pity assignment, about a dozen hit lists and now, Twitter, apparently. As #Prettyboy, of all freaking things. His cover's blown, his school's under siege, and he knows what his superiors would say: get the hell out. But Jake won't run. He's on the trail of a hacker nearly as good as he is, a hacker working with a disgraced criminal network Jake helped expose, a hacker who's determined to hunt Jake down. If Jake fails, #Prettyboy will become #Deadboy faster than you can say, Fifteen minutes of fame. Trapped in a high school with rabid killers and rabid fans, he'll need all his training and then some to save his job, his school and, oh yeah, his life.

Author Bio

Kimberly Reid lives in Boulder Colorado, where she previously worked in the telecom industry, as well as a joint research facility for the University of Boulder and NIST - a federal agency that features prominently in #Prettyboy Must Die. In addition, most of Reid's family is in the crime-fighting business; her mother was a homicide detective, and her husband runs a city courtroom, so she feels born to write thrillers.
