Whiteout

Need an instant cool-down on a hot summer day?  Maybe the first few sentences of this book will do the trick:

      Alone. Completely Alone. That's how it feels when you're in a whiteout blizzard.  You can't hear anything but the wind and the crunching of your feet on the snow.

Set in the fictional town of Greenville, Minnesota, this mystery is the third installment of the "Hunted" series by Walter Sorrells.  Sixteen year old Chastity and her mother have been running away from her father's killer for the previous two volumes, set in San Francisco and Alabama (it's not necessary to read these to enjoy volume three). Life feels nice and normal in rural Minnesota until Chastity finds her new music teacher shot to death in the school parking lot in the middle of a Minnesota blizzard.  This page-turning mystery will have teen readers staying awake to see if the killer is caught before it's too late for Chastity, her mother, and her new friend Katie.
