Eighteen-year-old
Nikki is in love with her twenty-year-old boyfriend, Dee. She had no
idea when he took her on a ride over the weekend that he would point a
gun, pull a trigger, and leave a man dead. She loves him so much she
would do anything for him. When the police call Dee in for questioning
in conjunction with the murder of a retired police officer over the
weekend, Nikki doesn’t question Dee’s directions to lie, to provide an
alibi, and to attest to his innocence. But what Nikki can’t
do is tolerate Dee’s order not to speak with him. When the police
seem to be closing in on the killer, will she tell the truth or take
responsibility for what she didn’t do? Recommended independent reading
for older high school students who enjoy suspense and characters in
trouble with the law.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
