Death by Denim

Set against the rich backdrop of France and Italy, this thrilling young adult mystery follows a girl on the run from criminal organizations that refuse to let her have just one romantic afternoon with her boyfriend. Aphra Connolly is being chased by some very dangerous people. She knows her survival depends upon staying far away from love interest Seth, and listening to her mom's lectures on the finer points of anonymity and survival. But how is a girl supposed to live under the radar and not think about her boyfriend when she's in Paris--the most glamorous and romantic city in the world? Aphra would like nothing more than to entertain her fantasy of strolling along the Champs-Elysées with Seth, but when her mom's contact in Paris is found floating in the Seine with a deadly message stuffed in his mouth, Aphra realizes that she will never be able to stop running unless she confronts the situation head-on. Sneaking away from her mom, Aphra tracks down the criminal mastermind in Italy, only to unwittingly reveal Seth's location. And her mistake has just put them both in mortal danger. . . .
