On Monday, Principal Peter Galvin welcomes the committee that will evaluate Ribicoff High School for accreditation--just as someone guns down a student outside the main entrance.

On Tuesday, homicide cop Abigail Teague tells him she fears that the shooting will incite a gang war.

On Wednesday, student teacher Kim Dombrowik finds drugs in a student's locker, and there's a riot in the school cafeteria.

Thursday really sucks.

And the evaluation committee won't leave until Friday...

Anywhere else, fifteen will get you twenty. Along the Turnpike, fifteen will get you dead.

When beautiful fifteen-year-old Stacy Kendall disappears, her wealthy parents hire Hartford PI Zach Barnes to find her. Barnes fears that the girl is dead...until a brunette who looks like her shows up in a security video outside a sleazy motel room. Inside that room, a man lies dead. Overnight, Stacy turns from a kidnap victim to a murder suspect--and her parents' worst nightmare.

In Who Wrote the Book of Death? someone wants to finish off the writer instead of the book.

When PI Zach Barnes agrees to protect a woman from death threats, he assumes that her name isn't really Taliesyn Holroyd. Unfortunately, he also assumes she really is writing a novel. She assumes that he's stopped drinking after his own wife's murder.

What else they don't know could bury them both along with the book.

Chicks on wheels, dirty deals, and everything you never dared ask about roller derby.
