From award-winning and highly acclaimed author Court Stevens comes a gripping, emotional story of small towns, rumours, and thirteen missing boys.

The Gemini Thief could be anyone.

For nearly a decade, the Gemini Thief, a serial kidnapper who abducts three boys on June 1st, has terrorised Tennessee. The June Boys being held captive endure thirteen months of being stolen, hidden, observed, and fed before they are released, unharmed, by their masked captor. The Thief is a pro, managing to elude authorities while abducting over twelve boys over the past ten years. No one knows why—but they do know they don’t want to be next.

Now, Thea Delacroix has reason to believe the Gemini Thief has taken a thirteenth victim: her cousin, Aulus.

But the twisted game begins to change: one of the kidnapped boys turns up dead. With the help of her best friends and her boyfriend Nick, Thea is determined to find the Gemini Thief and the remaining boys before it’s too late. Only she’s beginning to wonder something sinister, something repulsive, something unbelievable, and yet, not impossible:

What if someone she knows is the Gemini Thief?
