From the author of FIND YOU FIRST

When Cal Weaver stops at a red light on a rainy night while driving home, he ignores the bedraggled-looking teenage girl trying to hitch a ride - even when she starts tapping on his window. But when he realises she's one of his son's classmates, he knows he can't really leave her, alone, on the street.

But nothing prepares him for the consequences of trying to help her out. The next morning he's gone from Good Samaritan to Murder Suspect, and with one girl dead and another missing, he's suddenly at the centre of a deadly puzzle that reaches right to the heart of the town - from its bullying police force to its strangely furtive mayor - and finally to one family's shocking secret.

Ratings and reviews

Read on holiday and enjoyed it. I don't bother finishing books if they're badly written or the plot is dull. But I finished this one so it must be fairly good! Good pace and it kept me turning the pages.

Good book I love that the writer ties all the lose ends up before finishing the book. Was drawn out a bit too long but I enjoyed it.

Linwood Barclay never fails me for a "can't put it down read" I thought I had this one sussed half way through, wrong again.... Brilliant as always.
