Cunning detective Matt Stevens is hired by the head cheerleader and the school thug for two jobs that involve the same mysterious wooden trinket. Ferraiolo's crime-drama-homage sequel to The Big Splash presents another thrilling caper with enough plot twists, intrigue, and over-the-top similes ("She stood out...like a gazelle in a herd of cows") to keep reluctant readers interested and delighted.
