It’s been two months since private investigator Cal
Weaver’s teenage son Scott died in a tragic accident. Ever
since, he and his wife have drifted apart, fracturing a once
normal life. Cal is mired in grief, a grief he can’t move
past. And maybe his grief has clouded his judgment. Because
driving home one night, he makes his first big mistake.
A girl drenched in rain taps on his car window and asks for
a ride as he sits at a stoplight. Even though he knows a
fortysomething man picking up a teenage hitchhiker is a
fool, he lets her in. She’s the same age as Scott, and
maybe she can help Cal find the dealer who sold his son the
drugs that killed him. After a brief stop at a roadside
diner, Cal senses that something’s not right with the girl
or the situation. But it’s too late. He’s already involved.
Now Cal is drawn into a nightmare of pain and suspicion.
Something is horribly wrong in the small town of Griffon in
upstate New York. There are too many secrets there, too many
lies and cover-ups. And Cal has decided to expose those
secrets one by one.
