 eturn to the world of <em>Truly Devious</em> as Stevie Bell and her friend
 s travel to New York to solve a murder in the next standalone mystery from
 &nbsp\;New York Times&nbsp\;bestselling author Maureen Johnson.</p>\n<p>St
 evie might be the greatest teenage detective Ellingham Academy and the wor
 ld has ever seen\, but even she can&rsquo\;t figure out what happened with
  her boyfriend\, David. What she needs is a distraction: a good old-fashio
 ned murder. Stevie is much happier dealing with dead people. They&rsquo\;r
 e a lot less confusing&mdash\;they don&rsquo\;t send cryptic texts and mak
 e out with other girls in British pubs.</p>\n<p>But then Stevie gets exact
 ly what she wanted when a dead body turns up in the middle of a Manhattan 
 apartment complex\, and this one is . . . complicated. Caught in a web of 
 messy alive-people feelings\, Stevie finds herself questioning all human c
 onnection. Is magnetism only manipulation? Can you trust anyone? Does anyo
 ne realize that they&rsquo\;re joining a cult&mdash\;before it&rsquo\;s to
 o late? And are things with David really over?</p>\n<p><strong><img src="h
