Critically acclaimed author Maggie Thrash’s second novel in
the Strange Truth series blends crackling suspense,
subversive humor, and biting social commentary to become the
“definition of a page-turner” (John Corey Whaley). Only at Winship Academy would an evening science expo turn
into a criminal fiasco. First, there’s the anonymous boy in
the girls’ bathroom handing out drugs to anyone with the
secret password. Then the student body president is maimed
in a horrifying and tragic accident—but was it an accident
or an attack? Benny Flax and Virginia Leeds are right at the center of it
all. And so is the headmaster’s son, Calvin Harker, an
oddball poet whose interest in Virginia sets off alarm bells
for Benny. As the case bleeds from Winship Academy to the
surrounding city, the deep fault lines of racial tension in
Atlanta’s history reveal explosive hatred still simmering
under the city’s surface. Once again, Maggie Thrash (author of Honor Girl)
delivers a uniquely compelling, thought-provoking, and
entirely riveting story.
