Running Girl cover

Certain to grab the attention of teen fans of Sherlock and other crime dramas, Running Girl is an impressive murder mystery that will keep readers guessing right to its stunning conclusion.

Meet Garvie Smith. Highest IQ ever recorded at Marsh Academy. Lowest ever grades. What's the point? Life sucks. Nothing surprising ever happens. Until Chloe Dow's body is pulled from a pond. His ex-girlfriend. DI Singh is already on the case. Ambitious, uptight, methodical - he's determined to solve the mystery - and get promoted. He doesn't need any 'assistance' from notorious slacker, Smith. Or does he?

Sassily written, it is driven irresistibly forward by a twisty mystery * Sunday Times *
Five Stars! * Telegraph *
