Book description
Some crimes strike too close to home...
Private detective Bill Smith is hurtled headlong into the most
provocative - and personal - case of his career when he receives a
chilling late night telephone call from the NYPD. They're holding his
fifteen-year-old nephew Gary. But before he can find out what's going
on, Gary escapes Bill's custody and disappears into the dark and
unfamiliar streets...
With his partner, Lydia Chin, Bill tries to find the missing teen
and uncover what it is that has led him so far from home. Their search
takes them to Gary's family in a small town in New Jersey, where they
discover that one of Gary's classmates was murdered. Bill and Lydia
delve into the crime-only to find it eerily similar to a decades-old murder-suicide...
