The Surfing Corpse

Despite what some kids at their school say, there’s really nothing weird about P.C. Hawke and his friend Mackenzie Riggs. Sure, it’s sort of true that wherever they go people start getting killed right and left, but it’s not their fault. They just happen to be very observant—okay, nosy—and they like to see justice done.

So when their junior class trip ends with classmate Timmy Warner plunging to his death over a 300-foot waterfall, and when Timmy’s mom exhibits some strange behavior at the funeral, P.C. and Mackenzie just have to investigate. What they don’t expect is that the trail of clues will lead them to Los Angeles—and to a surfer who’s a dead ringer for their dead classmate!

interesting plot

Fast paced story, but it does have a few errors. in the beginning, it said that the life insurance policy was for $3 million. Several times later, characters sait that it was only $1 million.
