A Matter of Life and Seth

Sixteen-year-old Seth Anomundy is thinking of dropping out of high school to solve his mom's murder. The police don't seem to care about the death of Seth's mother, so he takes it upon himself to find her killer. Seth brings along a new love, a beautiful rich girl named Azura Lear. But instead of finding answers, Seth may be putting Azura and himself in the greatest danger of their lives. With an acid wit and a pair of quick fists, Seth faces down a gang of baseball-bat-wielding high school jocks, Azura's suspicious father, and King George, a teenage thug who wants Seth dead. And in between, Seth takes on the toughest job of all: navigating the complex world of high school.Here is Tom Llewellyn, author of The Tilting House, doing what he does best: spinning a lightning fast plot and pouring in plenty of violence, but still keeping his characters' souls fully intact.Praise for Tom Llewellyn's previous novel, "The Tilting House":"...a genre-bending page-turner with plenty of room in its eaves for sequels.
