Mapping the Dead Girl

Junie Park is spending her summer copying autopsy notes and pretending she doesn't prefer the dead to the living. When a girl her age is found in the reservoir behind her school and the case goes cold in a month, Junie starts a private map — every place the girl was seen in her last two weeks. The map draws a loop. The loop resolves to a person. That person is Junie's older sister, who vanished from town three years ago and has been living under a different name ever since. The dead girl was an informant. The coach at Junie's school is a businessman. And the only way to close this case is for Junie to turn over the most important pin on the map: her family. A precise, devastating thriller about the distances we keep, and the ones we finally have to cross.
