I think it was one of us, Walter says We had the perfect opportunity. Everyones thinking it, Im just saying it. The last thing Hallie and her drama classmates expect to find on a high school scavenger hunt is a dead body. In a town with a population of about thirty-six, no one has experience with murder investigations, but now everyones asking who killed Ms Lovelace. The drama kids thought they were the only people nerdy enough to be at school on a Sunday. When they learn that Adam Tolentino, football star, drama-club nemesis and the cutest boy in school, was there too, Hallie is given the task of finding out what he knows but she soon learns theres more to Adam than meets the eye. Although still grieving her favourite teacher, Hallie knows the show must go on. Managing a musical and a murder investigation is a lot, but Hallie and her friends wont give up on Ms Lovelace or each other.
