The Hand on the Wall

I think Ellingham Academy is cursed. There are currently three deceased. One, a victim of a homicide or an elaborate practical joke gone awry. One more, lost due to accident. And now another person has died in a Burlington accident. In the wrong place at the wrong moment, all three of them. All this at the very time of Stevie's biggest victory...

She is aware of Truly Devious's identity. She has the answer. The century's most significant case.

She believes she has, at least. It is difficult to focus on the past in light of this most recent catastrophe. Not only has there been a death in the community, but David vanished of his own will and seems to be planning something. Stevie is certain that all of these things are connected, somehow. the three current fatalities. the prior fatalities. David Eastman and Alice Ellingham are still missing. Answers must exist somewhere in this land of puzzles and riddles.

Then, when a powerful storm approaches Vermont, there is another mishap. The administrators and parents find this to be excessive. Everyone has left Ellingham Academy. It's obvious that Stevie needs to make a foolish decision. It's time to remain put on the mountain and confront both the killer and the storm.
