Kill the Lax Bro

By Charlotte Balogh

For fans of the sports backdrop and queer cast of Heated Rivalry comes a fresh and darkly funny 90s murder mystery about one high school's net of lies that begin to unravel when a star lacrosse player winds up dead.

The night before graduation, all of Hancock High celebrates at their school's annual lock-in. But what starts out as a fun night turns horribly wrong when a body is found--and the victim is none other than Troy Richards, the school's star lacrosse player.

Everyone is acting totally clueless. As for suspects? There's Jennifer (the dream girl), Naomi (the geek), Sassi (the overachiever), and Tatum (the rebel). At a glance, it seems like they couldn't be more unalike, except for the fact that they all hated Troy (the lax bro) . . . but who wanted him dead?

From debut author Charlotte Lillie Balogh comes a wickedly sharp take on high school stereotypes, including the boys we love and love to hate: lax bros.
