Until the phone calls came at three o'clock on a November morning, the Golds and their neighbors, the Hartes, had been inseparable. It was no surprise to anyone when their teenage children, Chris and Emily, began showing signs that their relationship was moving beyond that of lifelong friends. But now seventeen-year-old Emily is dead--shot with a gun her beloved and devoted Chris pilfered from his father's cabinet as part of an apparent suicide pact--leaving two devastated families stranded in the dark and dense predawn, desperate for answers about an unthinkable act and the children they never really knew.
From New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult--one of the most powerful writers in contemporary fiction--comes a riveting, timely, heartbreaking, and terrifying novel of families in anguish and friendships ripped apart by inconceivable violence.

You will find this novel impossible to put down - and if you take it on holiday with you, just don't plan on doing any sightseeing until you've finished it! (Daily Mail)
The novelist displays an almost uncanny ability to enter the skins of her troubled young protagonists. (New York Times)
It's riveting . . . This is a brilliant read, filled with twists and turns (Woman Magazine)
Engrossing . . . Picoult has a remarkable ability to make us share her characters' feelings of confusion and horror . . . THE PACT is compelling reading (People)
Impossible to put down (Observer)
A page-turner with a heart.
As the author, I must have read THE PACT dozens of times, and the ending still gives me a jolt. I think it's because unlike most page turners or legal suspense novels, you get a chance to crawl into the minds of the characters. And what parent HASN'T wondered what they do---or do not know about a child? Happy reading...
