Bloodline

"Reporter Jack McMorrow sticks his head above the tree line long enough to contract for an article on kids having kids, then homes in on one particular high-school kid--Missy Hewett, a success story of sorts who puts her baby up for adoption . . . having second thoughts about the adoption . . the day after she phones Jack . . . She's found dead".--Kirkus Review.
Hoping for a fresh start and a clean slate, McMorrow has a new home in the cheerful-sounding town of Prosperity, Maine. But nothing ever goes easy for Jack, so when a freelance gig leads him to a teen mother and some high school hooligans, it's not child's play. A girl is murdered and Jack's investigation places him squarely in the killer's sights.
