Skeleton Creek #1 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781953380036)

From The New York Times Best Seller author, Patrick Carman, Skeleton Creek is a fast-paced detective series that alternates between book and video.

Sarah and Ryan are in deep trouble...they've discovered a dark secret...something that everyone in their hometown of Skeleton Creek, Oregon, seems to want to keep from them. Why? It just doesn't make sense.

The answers are at the old, abandoned dredge. The last time the two went out to the creepy dredge, Ryan ended up unconscious and in a cast at the hospital. Ryan is stuck at home, but Sarah can continue to solve the mystery by taking videos. Forbidden to contact each other anymore, they communicate through text messages, midnight meetings and by watching Sarah's videos posted on her secret website using passwords given throughout the book.
