About the Book

Christopher just needed a job to kill time the summer after high school graduation. He didn't expect it to be in the morgue. Or that he would accidentally discover a murder cover-up. Or that his discovery would lead him to a full-blown investigation involving bribery, kidnappings, more murders . . . and his best friend. And he certainly could never have predicted that Tina?loud, insanely hot, ambitious newspaper reporter Tina?would be his partner. But all of that did happen. And Christopher's life will never be the same. With plenty of plot twists, red herrings, and dry wit, "The Morgue and Me" is a page-turning modern take on the classic detective genre.

About the Author :
While attending high school, John C. Ford delivered pizzas and parked cars, but he never worked in a morgue. This is his debut novel. He lives in Washington, D.C.

Review :
A throw-back style detective novel that readers of all stripes should pay attention to. "The Los Angeles Times" A dark and stellar debut. "Publishers Weekly," starred review "Fast-paced and full of red herrings, it'll keep you guessing." "New York Post" A terrific debut.Christopher Newell is the most realistically and comically awkward teenager ever to solve a crime. "The Detroit News" A solid mystery infused with dry wit, but it's his likable, quirky detectives and their crackling chemistry that make "The Morgue and Me" anything but stiff. "SLJ" Ford s unpredictable curveballs and switcheroos never relent. A satisfyingly grim departure from the usual squeaky-clean teen sleuthing. "Booklist" [A] methodically paced mystery debut.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
