Bookroo's summary

Aiden and Meg Falconer are fugitives, desperate to prove their parents' innocence. Pursued by the FBI and a mysterious killer, their quest for justice becomes perilous. When a trusted ally betrays them, landing Meg in jail, the stakes skyrocket. Can they uncover the truth before it's too late?

From the publisher

Aiden and Meg Falconer are now celebrities … for all the wrong reasons. It’s much harder to be on the run when the whole country’s looking for you…. Aiden and Meg Falconer are out to find the evidence that will free their parents from a life sentence in prison. But in order to do that, they have to live undercover. Ever since they broke out of a juvenile detention facility, they’ve been chased by the FBI … and by a strange killer they’ve nicknamed Hairless Joe. Now their story has hit the airwaves, and suddenly everyone is looking for the Falconer kids. They think they can hide with an old family friend … but when she turns them in and Meg is put in jail, the danger and adventure only increase.
