Bookroo's summary

Nick Walker, a teen fascinated by knives and video games, becomes the prime suspect in a Portland murder. His interest in Search and Rescue is twisted into evidence against him. As suspicion mounts, friends Alexis and Ruby race against time to uncover the truth and clear Nick's name. Can they unravel the mystery before it's too late, or will Nick's life be forever changed by a crime he didn't commit?

From the publisher

When a woman’s body is found in a Portland park, suspicion falls on an awkward kid who lives only a few blocks away, a teen who collects knives, loves first-person shooter video games, and obsessively doodles violent scenes in his school notebooks. Nick Walker goes from being a member of Portland’s Search and Rescue team to the prime suspect in a murder, his very interest in SAR seen as proof of his fascination with violence. How is this even possible? And can Alexis and Ruby find a way to help clear Nick’s name before it’s too late? April Henry weaves another page-turning, high stakes mystery in Blood Will Tell, Book 2 of the Point Last Seen series. This title has Common Core connections.
