Synopsis

From the critically acclaimed, award-winning S. J. Rozan comes her finest novel to date—an explosive novel about the corrosive power of secrets and corruption in a small town.In the middle of the night, private investigator Bill Smith is awakened by a call from the NYPD. They’re holding fifteen-year-old named Gary—Bill’s nephew. But before Bill can find out what is going on, Gary escapes custody into the dark night and unfamiliar streets. Bill, with the help of his partner Lydia Chin, tries to find the missing teen and uncover what it is that led him so far from home. Tracking Gary’s family to a small town in New Jersey, Bill finds himself in a town where nothing matters but high school football, where the secrets of the past—both the town’s and Bill’s own—threaten to destroy the present. And if Bill is to have any chance of saving Gary and preventing a tragedy, he has to both unravel a long buried crime and confront the darkness of his own past.

I am interviewing S. J. Rozan on Saturday, so I am reading all of her books. Because of snafus at two libraries, I fell behind and an now having to scramble to read the end of the series before Saturday. I was really nervous about this.

Goodreads review by Renee on January 11, 2022

Riveting & heartbreaking! Another worthy episode in an excellent series. This story was told from Bill's point of view & provides insight into Bill's dysfunctional family & hurtful past.

This was my first S.J. Rozan and I am hooked.

The main villian of the book is football. Or at least the overwhelming influen......more

Goodreads review by Rick on February 27, 2021

My First S/J.Rozan experience. And wow, did I ever enjoy it. It's a page-turner as you keep trying to figure out the multiple mysteries.
