DESPERADO CITY
By: Rebecca Coleman

When 14-year-old Elizabeth is found dead in the haunted house of a failing Catskills theme park, most of the citizens of nearby Eden Grove believe she must have taken her own life. However, the town's promising snowboard star, Danielle, thinks otherwise. She suspects a motive much darker than depression and becomes preoccupied with the circumstances surrounding the case. As the evidence grows, Danielle finds reasons to suspect many of her friends—and then she discovers that Avery, the runaway son of the park's owner, has turned up, living in the hayloft of the petting zoo barn. Even more disturbing, he's convinced he's on a mission from God.
