What the Monster Saw

By Kristine Kathryn Rusch

 

Everyone thinks of Kyle as the good-for-nothing only son of Jackson Worthington. But Kyle keeps his real nature hidden: from his father, from his classmates, from everyone.

Until he discovers a body in an alley on the way home from school.

The police can't solve the crime, but Kyle can—unless his very wealthy and very powerful father stops him.

"Kristine Kathryn Rusch's crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style."
