Hollow fires

School newspaper editor Safiya Mirza's dreams of becoming a journalist get a grim start when she is the first person to discover the body of the murdered boy, Jawad Ali--the fourteen-year-old Muslim boy who created a costume jet pack, which got mistaken for a bomb, which led him to be labeled a terrorist, and which finally led a group of white supremacists to murder him. Guided in her investigation by the haunting voice of Jawad, though, Safiya will discover a secret and lies while the jury in the case is still undecided, which will challenge everyone's notions of facts and truth.
