A MILLION STORIES BEYOND THE FLAGPOLE

When someone sets fire to Lincoln High and kills the new principal, chaos threatens to overtake the urban school. Assistant Principal Sally Pearce, hired to help the deceased principal revamp the culture, vows to carry on the mission. In so doing, she locks horns with fellow staff members and faces gang threats, racial tensions, grievances, sexual harassment complaints, and murder.

Sally never dreamed she'd be faced with solving a mystery and returning the school to order. The odds are against her-a woman in a man's job, a minority in a tough position. Her strong commitment and heart for students bolster her as she meets challenge after challenge. When more troubles occur on campus, Sally realizes she's trapped in a cycle of violence that must be stopped--NOW.

Praise for this book

"Danger, betrayal, and murder roam the halls of Lincoln High. Teeming with territorial power plays, both in the classrooms and on the streets, A Murder of Principal is an intriguing mystery, cleverly penned with the knowledge and experience only a true educational insider can deliver."-Bruce Robert Coffin, award-winning author of the Detective Byron Mysteries

"Curl up on the couch with your magnifying glass, cat, and some chocolate as you sift through the clues of this well-penned mystery. You're in for a treat!" -Avanti Centrae, author of the five-time award winning and #1 Amazon bestselling VanOps thriller series

"Enter Lincoln High School at your own risk--you'll be held captive by this suspenseful page-turner." -Margaret Mizushima, author of the award-winning Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries, including Hanging Falls

"Saralyn Richard has written a compelling page-turner of a mystery. The book's universe, the life of the administrators, teachers, and staff of an inner-city high school, rings with authenticity. A Murder of Principal has richly drawn characters that drive the story. There are many surprises as the story evolves. Start it early enough so you won't stay up all night to finish it. I did." -Marc Grossberg, author of The Best People: A Tale of Trials and Errors
