A teenage girl becomes the target of a cruel psychological campaign designed to isolate, humiliate, and break her. In Pittsburgh, a group of socially powerful high school students turns boredom into something monstrous, weaponizing gossip, fake accounts, parent networks, and fear until Mara Singleton's world begins to collapse around her. What starts as a game spirals into irreversible damage.
As the fallout spreads, Mara's older brother Eli is pulled back into the city, forced to confront what was done to his sister and the people responsible. But Dead Weight is more than a story about bullying. It is a dark psychological crime novel about guilt, complicity, grief, and the terrible weight people carry after a line has been crossed and can never be uncrossed.
Set against the cold streets, bridges, and neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, Dead Weight is a brutal, emotionally charged novel about cruelty without conscience-and the lives left behind when the damage is done. ¿
