    About this ebook

    In this short mystery, it is Homecoming day, and the star quarterback, Howie the Hand, is not on the field. Abby’s head is pounding from a night of partying and she could care less about the game. She is, however, worried about her housemate, Steff. For two years, Steff has harbored an unnatural attraction to Howie. When Abby and her other roommates realize Steff may have been the last one to see Howie alive, panic sets in as they piece together the events of an evening doused with drugs, alcohol and deception. With minutes to kickoff, Abby races to solve the mystery and clear Steff’s name. Howie may be dead but one thing is for sure. The housemates’ friendship will never be the same.

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
