<em>He was at the end of the hallway.</em></p><em>The stillness of him is what I remember most.</em></p><em>I didn't catch him midstride or walking away.</em></p><em>He was just standing and looking at me. As if he'd always known I'd be there.</em></p><em>Silent. Perfectly silhouetted in the dead center of the hallway. And then he ran, directly at me.</em></p><p>They are the Shadow Guild. Or maybe they are The Academics. Or, on second thought, they might be BrainForce. That's all still up for debate. But one thing is certain: Marshall, Quinn, Malcolm, and Brigham are a teenage-detective team on a mission. And that mission is to uncover the mysterious motives behind Marshall's late-night mugging at Carter High School. </p>It's a dangerous investigation that leads the normally rule-following, RPG-obsessed, straight-A honor students into a dark, crime-filled underworld that brings about an entirely new and unexpected question: Will they actually survive? And will they have to break curfew in the process?</p><p><br></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Matt J.
