Announcing Teachers Who Hate Students!

Announcing Teachers Who Hate Students!

 

Absolute Justice was just released this week, and already I have another book announcement to make!  The fourth book in the Funderburke and Kaiming series, Teachers Who Hate Students, will be released later this spring or early summer!

 

Here’s the book’s description!

 

Is Funderburke’s fourteen-year-old half-sister Blaze an arsonist?  Blaze has been kicked out of three schools, and all of her teachers say she’s a troubled, angry, potentially dangerous girl.  So when multiple cars are set aflame in a school parking lot, and a witness identifies Blaze as the culprit, the authorities are poised to toss Blaze into an institution for disturbed children.  Funderburke is inclined to think the worst about the half-sibling he’s never met, but when their mother begs him to take the case, he and his girlfriend/investigative partner Nerissa Kaiming start digging, and quickly discover a mountain of secrets that influential people hoped would stay buried forever.  As scandals are revealed and bodies pile up, Funderburke and Nerissa try to clear Blaze’s name despite the efforts of some powerful enemies. Unfortunately, this case may not just wreck their careers… it could destroy the Kaiming family.

 

And here’s the cover art!
