LAPD lieutenant detective Peter Decker and his wife, Rina, have welcomed fifteen-year-old Gabriel Whitman, the son of a troubled former friend, into their home. While the enigmatic teen seems to be adapting easily, Decker knows the secrets adolescents keep—witnessed by the tragic suicide of another teen, Gregory Hesse, a student at Bell and Wakefield, one of the city’s most exclusive schools.
Gregory’s mother, Wendy, refuses to believe her son shot himself and convinces Decker to look deeper. The case becomes darkly complicated by the suicide of another Bell and Wakefield student—a death that leads them to uncover a nasty group of rich and privileged students with a predilection for guns and violence. Decker thought he understood kids, yet the closer he and his team get to the truth, the clearer it becomes that he knows very little about them, including his own charge, Gabe.
Before it’s over, the case and all its terrifying ramifications will take Decker and his detectives down a dark alley of twisted allegiances and unholy alliances, culminating into a heart-stopping point of no return.Faye Kellerman is the author of twenty-seven novels. She lives with her husband, in Los Angeles, California, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
