    About this ebook

    Death at Clover High is an equally mind-blowing and educational fiction about a high schools baffling death and the students brain-busting algebra class
    In this proficiently written self-contained book, Horwitz will take the readers to two differentbut solidly connectedsituations. A high school student at Clover High is found dead in the lavatory, with her head thrown back, mouth open, and eyes looking completely blank. The situation elicits questions and confusion, and leads few other students to investigate.
    While the mysterious death continues to infuse anxiety and puzzlement among the students, the Algebra class is also facing its own numerical battle. Each meeting presents increasingly complicated algebra problemsfrom signed numbers and absolute values to equations and variables to linear equations, inequalities, and to quadratic equationsthat appraise each students intelligence.
    How algebra relates in analyzing and solving the murder mystery is quite surprising.

    Lucy Horwitz

    Lucy Horwitz, a retired mathematics professor, has had two main passions in her life: teaching and writing, these being supported by an addiction to learning and reading. She holds degrees in English, Philosophy, Mathematics, Education and Cognitive Psychology. She has read widely, from ancient history to modern murder mysteries. Her writings also cover a wide range, from the textbook Statistics for Social Change to the memoir Random Thoughts from an Aging Brain. For many years she was the contributing science editor for The Boston Book Review, and has also published a number of technical articles on the cognitive aspects of learning mathematics. This is her first, but probably not her last, venture into the world of fiction.
