About Before the Flood: An Unputdownable Psychological Thriller

A Student Drowns at a Boarding School. Accident or Murder? President Kennedy has just been assassinated. Still in shock, sixteen-year-old Brian Reed and all of New England’s Harkness Academy are even more stunned when they learn of the drowning of a naive freshman, Ted Merrifield. The autopsy reports that "Merry" was legally drunk, something that seems totally out of character and way beyond his years. Brian is wracked with guilt at how he turned his back on "Merry," and sets out to learn what really happened. He is aided by--actually goaded by--an unknown figure leaving him cryptic notes. Harkness Academy is a well-oiled machine that has turned out America’s leaders and captains of industry for 250 years. A clique of four powerful upperclassmen rules much of the campus--even some of the teachers--and they will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Seeking to uncover what really happened at great personal risk, Brian discovers a terrible secret. Order your copy of this gripping psychological, coming of age thriller.
