Amid the Haze, (Paperback)

Maeve Drakos and Hazel Fischer continue their college journey, moving back to the city and starting the peace officer training program at the community college. They pick out their first apartment, and everything seems awesome. Until they meet the neighbors.

Members of Oakley University's men's lacrosse team live in the big house behind them. After many late-night parties and several instances of vandalizing the girls' apartment, Maeve has had enough. She decides to confront them on their own turf. Except while there, she discovers team secrets far darker than broken windows and spray-painted walls. Yet they all insist it's nothing-just tradition. The captain's a nice guy; they're all good guys. Yeah, no.

Maeve thought she and Hazel were supposed to be the perfect team-in more ways than one. But when she approaches Hazel about reporting the guys, Hazel doesn't necessarily see what's happening next door the same way. And she's hardly ever home anyway, because she's been spending loads of time with her friend Doug. All this leaves Maeve doubting herself and questioning everything she thought she understood so clearly their freshman year.

Yet there's no time to figure anything out before Maeve and Hazel find themselves embroiled in another murder mystery. Who has time to care about a crush when there's a rotting corpse in the basement?
