Preyed in Murder — Helen Gray

During an educational field day scavenger hunt, a trio of Toni Donovan's high school science students discover some bones and a skull. When the boys' curiosity, and a desire to assist their favorite teacher, inspires in them a dream of becoming detectives, they insert themselves into the investigation and set out to determine who killed the missing preacher. Did the man run off with the town's money? Or was a man of prayer preyed upon? Through the twists and turns of the case, fear becomes Toni's companion -- for her students, for her husband and sons, and for herself. Can she rescue her over eager students when they devise a plan of their own, go snooping, and end up in the clutches of the killer? Or will fear overcome her and make her -- and possibly her students -- the next victims?
