Welcome to Echo Falls. Home of a thousand secrets, where
Ingrid Levin-Hill, super sleuth, never knows what will happen next.
Ingrid
is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or at least her shoes are. Getting
them back means getting involved in a murder investigation rivaling those
solved by her idol, Sherlock Holmes, and Ingrid has enough on her plate with
club soccer, school, and the plum role of Alice in the Echo Falls production
of Alice in Wonderland. But much as in Alice's adventures down the
rabbit hole, things in Ingrid's small town keep getting curiouser and
curiouser. Her favorite director has a serious accident onstage (but is it
an accident?), and the police chief is on Ingrid's tail, grilling her about
everything from bike-helmet law to the color of her cleats. Echo Falls has
turned into a nightmare, and Ingrid is determined to wake up. Edgar
Award–nominated novelist Peter Abrahams builds suspense as a smart young
girl finds that her small town isn't nearly as safe as it seems.
