What the Monster Saw — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Everyone thinks of Kyle as the good-for-nothing only son of Jackson Worthington. But Kyle keeps his real nature hidden: from his father, from his classmates, from everyone.

Until he discovers a body in an alley on the way home from school.

The police can't solve the crime, but Kyle can -- unless his very wealthy and very powerful father stops him.

“Kristine Kathryn Rusch's crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style.”
