Chilled to the Bone

Sara Summers is the standout teacher at West Lebanon Middle School—admired, envied, and quietly resented. The attention she receives is constant—often flattering, but sometimes unsettling. So when anonymous emails from a "secret admirer" land in her inbox, she barely reacts. But everything changes when a package arrives on her doorstep containing an explicit object and a threatening note. Terrified, Sara contacts the police, but they offer little help.

Desperate for protection, Sara turns to Justin Boyle and the International Investigators. Their search uncovers a tangle of obsession and deceit, and every person in Sara's orbit becomes a potential threat. The principal has a history of crossing lines. The gym teacher can't keep his eyes—or hands—to himself. A jealous frenemy seems eager to watch Sara fall. An abusive ex refuses to let go. And a troubled student lingers long after the final bell. Any one of them could be the stalker closing in.

What begins as a simple secret admirer case spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Someone is hunting Sara, and they won't stop until they get exactly what they want.
