"A twisty, cold-case mystery custom made for fans of Sara Shepard,
PLL and Veronica Mars! The edge-of-your-seat plot, sinister backstory
and smart, brave and irreverent main character made this whodunit
unputdownable."--Justine Magazine
In To Catch a Killer, a contemporary mystery by debut author Sheryl
Scarborough, a teenage girl uses forensic science to solve the cold-case
murder of her mother. Erin Blake has one of those names. A name that
is inextricably linked to a grisly crime. As a toddler, Erin survived
for three days alongside the corpse of her murdered mother, and the
case--which remains unsolved--fascinated a nation. Her father's identity
unknown, Erin was taken in by her mother's best friend and has become a
relatively normal teen in spite of the looming questions about her past.
Fourteen years later, Erin is once again at the center of a brutal
homicide when she finds the body of her biology teacher. When questioned
by the police, Erin tells almost the whole truth, but never voices her
suspicions that her mother's killer has struck again in order to protect
the casework she's secretly doing on her own.
Inspired by her uncle, an FBI agent, Erin has ramped up her forensic
hobby into a full-blown cold-case investigation. This new murder makes
her certain she's close to the truth, but when all the evidence starts
to point the authorities straight to Erin, she turns to her longtime
crush (and fellow suspect) Journey Michaels to help her crack the case
before it's too late.
