Child Left Behind - Paperback

by Steven Mark Pinto (Author)

Harley Justin Butler is a cool East Bay detective with a reputation for getting results in spite of his ADD. He didn't seem like he'd have much to gain by going undercover as a teacher at LBJ High, a tough school in the Iron Triangle section of Richmond to investigate the Alma Vargas murder. But something in Harley's core told him it was the right thing to do. You see Alma, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was a stellar student at LBJ High. Alive, she was looked to up to by her peers but considered an annoyance by administrators, disappointed that she advertised the school's dirty laundry to the public. Dead, she becomes a martyr to students and someone the administrators would just as soon forget. Follow Harley as he seeks justice for Alma and along the way discovers some secrets of the soul.
