Meet Meera Patel - college dropout and soon to be murder suspect


Life in sleepy college towns in the south follows a predictable pattern. Summers are slow and lazy and campus is almost deserted. Scorching days end in flaming sunsets. Meat cooks on the backyard grills, infusing the air with heady aromas of charcoal and dry rubs. Kids splash in pools and run around, licking snow cones and popsicles. It's the calm before the storm, before the frenzy of fall term begins in earnest.


Swan Creek, Oklahoma is no different.


Meera Patel has spent the summer months babysitting the three men in her family, hanging out with her pals by the lake. Her grandma couldn't get home soon enough!


One hot July day, Meera bumps into her nemesis Prudence Walker, the rising star of the electrical engineering department. Things get ugly when Meera learns Prudence has a crush on her father. Then Prudence floats up in the college pond one morning. Meera is accused of murder!


While the campus is reeling under the shock of the young professor's death, a student goes missing. When Meera is almost arrested by the local police for both the crimes, she decides to go sleuthing to save herself.


Join Meera and her pals on an intense chase as they try to uncover the truth and find the missing girl before it's too late.


Take a trip down memory lane with this college campus mystery featuring a young, daredevil heroine who sticks by her friends no matter what. The plot will keep you guessing and the yummy food will make you drool.
