Join MahoganyBooks for an exciting afternoon with award winning filmmaker and author Nick Brooks as we celebrate the launch of his latest young adult novel Up In Smoke! You're probably familiar with Nick's last YA novel, Promise Boys . If you're a fan of it, you won't want to miss his latest edge-of-your-seat mystery! Grab you a friend and tell a friend to come learn more about this thrilling page turning mystery-thriller! A big thank you to the Prince George's County Memorial Library System - Oxon Hill Branch for partnering with us for this event. About the book: Up in Smoke A girl determined to clear her brother's name. A boy determined to keep his out of the line of fire. A secret smoldering between them. This edge-of-your-seat mystery from the author of Promise Boys is p erfect for fans of Karen McManus and The Hate U Give . Unmask a murderer or take the fall. After Cooper King is pressured by big brother figure Jason to go on a looting spree during a local march, the unthinkable happens: gunshots ring in the air and someone ends up dead . After Cooper flees, the news shows four teens in ski masks near the scene of the murder—Cooper and his friends. Cooper fears the cops will come knocking at his door, and the pressure only mounts when a suspect is taken into custody: Jason. Monique, Jason's sister and Cooper's longtime crush, is willing to go any length to clear her brother's name. Even if she needs to go into the belly of the beast and confront the killer herself. When she teams up with Cooper, they fall down the investigation rabbit hole and start to fall for each other. But little does Monique know that within this web of deception, Cooper is shrouding the truth that he was there when the shots went off. If the pair fail to uncover the real murderer, Jason will get locked up for a crime he didn't commit—and drag down Cooper with him. Pick this up if you love: ● high stakes, dual POV thrillers ● page-turning mysteries ● will-they-won't-they romance ● twists and turns you never see coming About the author: Nick Brooks is the critically-acclaimed author of Promise Boys and award-winning filmmaker from Washington, DC.
