Mad Season — Al Blanchard

What begins as just another day at North Middle School quickly turns into an unforgettable nightmare as faculty begin to turn up dead with letters of the alphabet carved into them. And school teacher Steve Asher is right in the thick of things, having received a strange phone call from Principal Alex Webster arranging an early morning meeting to discuss how to handle a situation. "No big deal," he'd said. But now he was dead. When Asher's best friend becomes the major suspect in the hideous crimes, Steve sets out to prove the man's innocence and unmask the killer. But is he hampering the investigation and endangering the lives of his friends as he follows the twisted trail the killer leaves behind?

The Mad Season has all of the plot twists, humor and page turning suspense the reader has come to expect from Al Blanchard the award winning author of Murder at Walden Pond and The Iscariot Conspiracy.
