Publishing Deal - Jessica Warman

The novel, described as a meeting of The Lovely Bones and Lynda La Plante, will be published in trade paperback in October 2011 for a young adult market.

It tells the gripping story of young, beautiful Elizabeth Vachar, a teenage girl who dies under mysterious circumstances in small town America.


Her clique of popular 'good kids' are in shock as they wake to find their friend dead, facedown, in the murky water of the docks. But Liz hasn't gone anywhere.
