Book excerpt: The best-selling young adult novelist recounts her daughter's mysterious shooting death and her own investigation into the crime, describing her use of a psychic to contact her dead child and expose the truth. “Later! I’ll see you guys later!” They were the last words Lois Duncan would ever hear her daughter speak. On a balmy midsummer’s night in 1989, eighteen-year-old Kaitlyn Arquette was shot to death as she drove home along a deserted strip of new Mexico highway. The police called it a random shooting—even though it had all the earmarks of a professional hit. . . . Who would put out a contract on a beautiful young honor student? Was it grief that made Kaitlyn’s Vietnamese lover try to take his own life?—or was it not an attempted suicide at all? Lois Duncan’s search for answers would take her into the underworld of Vietnamese gangs that stretched across three states. It would lead her to an extraordinary psychic and to a courageous journalist determined to expose the devastating truth. And it would send her on a numbing odyssey into Kaitlyn’s shocking secret life as she desperately sought justice for the daughter she would always love . . . even in the face of shattering betrayal and threats to her own life. . . . Praise for Who Killed My Daughter? “Duncan’s anguish and frustration surface on practically every page of this sad but intriguing mystery. Her forays into the realm of psychics and dreams are downright eerie.”—The Plain Dealer “Who Killed My Daughter? is a story of sadness, frustration and hope. . . . It is an emotional book that reads more like a novel than nonfiction.”—San Antonio Express-News “This book is especially well written, perhaps because Duncan’s writing comes from her broken heart and anguished soul.”—Library Journal “Ms. Duncan is an award-winning yong adult novelist. She does a remarkable job of organizing the untidy events of real life into a cohesive, readable narrative.”—The Atlanta Journal and Constitution

But they also attract the attention of some mysterious dognappers. Can the kids find the criminals and bring their dogs safely home? “Readers seeking wholesome fare will appreciate the resourceful characters. At bottom, it is the dogs, from loyal Red Rover to pampered Bully Bernstein, who should win best in show.” —Kirkus Reviews “A plot that mixes journalism and crime into a potpourri of canines and middle-school moralizing . . . kids with a yen for dogs and a low tolerance for suspense will be comfortable with this.” —Booklist

Book excerpt: Lois Duncan is known for award-winning suspense novels, such as I Know What You Did Last Summer. Few people know she has led a secret second life as a poet. From early childhood, Lois chronicled events of her life in verse. At ten, she began submitting her poetry to magazines. Since then, Lois has written hundreds of magazine articles and forty-eight books. She is the recipient of the "Margaret A. Edwards Award", presented by the American Library Association for an "outstanding contribution to literature for young adults". Renowned as a novelist, she kept her poetry notebooks tucked away in a drawer "like a secret vice". Generations of readers who grew up on "Lois Duncan" books have been urging her to write her autobiography. That task seemed formidable until she began to leaf through those notebooks. There, she found herself in every season of her life-a dreamy child, entranced by fairies and magic; an adolescent, embroiled in turbulent romances; a busy young wife and mother; a heartsick divorcee; a remarried, middle-aged housewife, watching children leave the nest; and then, as a grief-stricken mother, struggling to cling to sanity after the murder of her youngest child. Seasons of the Heart is the deeply personal story of an "ordinary woman", told in an extraordinary way. "It was with a strong sense of kinship that I read Seasons of the Heart. The romanticism of the young girl; the passions, frustrations and heartbreak of motherhood; the quiet joys of aging, all are captured in the deft and disciplined cadence of poetry."-Lois Lowry, twice winner of the Newbery Award
