A mother’s death replaces old loyalties with new, turns brother against brother, makes friends of enemies and enemies of friends. The chilling new psychological thriller by Ben McPherson, author of A LINE OF BLOOD.
It didn’t feel much like murder at the time. Their stepfather was a cruel man, prone to unpredictable rages. No child should have to live with that.
Ten years ago, Lucas’s sister stepped off the pavement into the path of a truck. It seems she couldn’t live with what she’d done. Now his mother is dead too, and old secrets are rising to the surface.
Everything his mother had she’s left to Lucas – and turns out it’s a lot. Shocked and confused, Lucas begins to wonder what really happened to his mother. Why would she cut out his brother – her only other living child? And why does their uncle seem to be covering his tracks?
Enter Farah – beautiful, clever, American – and the only person Lucas can turn to for help. She claims to see what Lucas can’t: that his uncle despises him, that his new stepfather is a bully, and that his own brother hates him. But in revealing the truth, will Farah be saving Lucas or leading him down a dangerous path?
Soon enough, the situation escalates. Three deaths; two possible murders, and an attempt on Lucas’s life are enough to drive anyone over the edge. He finds himself growing increasingly obsessed – both with Farah and with the elegant power of his brother’s gun. It seems only a matter of time before three deaths become four…
