of the knights to help dianne search for the assailant which points in the direction of one of the fallen knights previous investigations the pursuit leads to a student responsible for a lethal high school shooting sixty miles outside the nation s capital though the boy committed suicide following his rampage the group discovers the authorities have been suppressing facts about the young shooter

pulling the covers back on a plot more ambitious than anybody had previously imagined in over their heads and scrambling to avoid arrest the boundaries of the knight s friendship become tested but the
