Blurb:
Gom Marsh is happy that it's summer break and he can spend
some time with Casey. But no, along comes Laurie with one of the most
disturbing cases so far. This time a young artist in a summer school program is
producing some extremely tortured drawings. Gom has to get in there to find out
what is going on with Kade Godwin. If that's not enough, there's a teacher who
is being cyber-bullied and has no idea who is doing it, and it's got to be kept
on the down-low to protect his reputation. But there' a really good ending.

Excerpt:
“I need you to—no,
I guess I need to come to you first. Can I come by tonight after work? I need
to fill you in so we can get to the bottom of this problem before something
really bad happens.” Laurie sounded so frustrated and a little scared.
“Of course. Why
don’t you come to supper at Scarcity? Casey and I already talked about eating
there tonight. I’m sure everybody would love to see you.” Through their cases
she had spent a few nights with the family.
“Ooh, Dillon’s
cooking? Count me in. Can I bring something?”
“You know
better. Just be hungry.” Gom laughed. It was no secret how much she loved
Dillon’s food, especially his donuts.
“Yum. I’ll be
there. What time?”
“Six thirty
okay?” he asked, she agreed, and they hung up.
“Another one?”
Casey asked and Gom’s heart dropped thinking about someone else being so badly
hurt that he was needed to help.
“Yeah, I need
to call Dillon and let him know she’s coming.”
“You know he’ll
make her donuts,” Casey teased.
“Yep, won’t
hurt my feelings at all,” Gom said. “I wonder what’s going on. She said it was
at the new school on Ford Road. It’s brand new. You kind of hope that with it
so new there wouldn’t be time for anything really bad to be going on.”
“Wait. School
hasn’t even started yet. It’s summer. How could there be a case for you to help
with if they aren’t in session?”
“I don’t know.
There’s summer school, maybe. I guess we’ll find out tonight.”
