We're back - with a super thriller from 1988! Yes, we're revisiting the twins' sejourn at the Sweet Valley News, where everyone's obsessed with the trial of mob boss Frank DeLucca. Liz is convinced that someone will step forward and testify against him, while new fellow intern Darcy mocks her faith in human nature. Liz finds solace in heartfelt chats with Eric, a new arrival in Sweet Valley with a penchant for writing poetry, while Jeffrey is off being a camp counsellor. Is this where her "out of sight, out of mind" approach began? When Jessica and Darcy become convinced that Eric is actually a teenager murderer, they're determined to bring him to justice - but how will Liz react when the truth about Eric is revealed? This book becomes spectacularly unhinged in the last act and all we can say is that the Beckwiths didn't move away a moment too soon.
