New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson delivers the witty and pulse-pounding
conclusion to the Truly Devious series as Stevie Bell solves the mystery that has haunted
Ellingham Academy for over 75 years. Now available in paperback. Ellingham Academy must be
cursed. Three people are now dead. One a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder.
Another dead by misadventure. And now an accident in Burlington has claimed another life. All
three in the wrong place at the wrong time. All at the exact moment of Stevie's greatest
triumph . . . She knows who Truly Devious is. She's solved it. The greatest case of the
century. At least she thinks she has. With this latest tragedy it's hard to concentrate on
the past. Not only has someone died in town but David disappeared of his own free will and is
up to something. Stevie is sure that somehow-somehow-all these things connect. The three deaths
in the present. The deaths in the past. The missing Alice Ellingham and the missing David
Eastman. Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers. Then another
accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont. This is too much for the parents and
administrators. Ellingham Academy is evacuated. Obviously it's time for Stevie to do something
stupid. It's time to stay on the mountain and face the storm-and a murderer. In the tantalizing
finale to the Truly Devious trilogy New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson expertly
tangles her dual narrative threads and ignites an explosive end for all who've walked through
Ellingham Academy. Praise for the Truly Devious series: Readers hang tight: there's one more
round to come and if the signs are right it'll be to die for. -Publishers Weekly (starred
review) The Agatha Christie-like ecosystem pairs with lacerating contemporary wit and
alternating past and present scenes makes for a multilayered modern detective story. -New York
Times Book Review Remember the first time reading Harry Potter and knowing it was special?
There's that same sense of magic in the introduction of teen Sherlock-in-training Stevie Bell.
