Title: “The Sorority Murder”
Author: Allison Brennan
Candace Swain’s murder was three years ago and is now a cold case. As a popular member of her sorority, good student and volunteer at a rescue mission, Candace is right on track for a promising future as an inner-city nurse. Those plans are forever erased when she turns up dead two weeks after going missing from the big Sigma Rho Spring Fling party. No one has any idea who would want Candace dead, except for the vagrant man who is constantly getting in trouble for hanging around the campus. But he is missing, too.
Lucas Vega is an intern at the medical examiner’s office and is obsessed with finding out the truth about Candace’s death. He stumbles on some new information and decides to interview a former U.S. Marshal, Regan Merritt, for her insight into the case for his true crime podcast. New information continues to surface about the two weeks before Candace was found dead – and someone isn’t happy. The more of the truth that comes out- the more people start to get hurt. What secrets remain buried with Candace?
