‘Another rewarding page-turner by one of the most reliable storytellers in modern crime fiction’ Daily Mail

Seventeen-year-old Tyson seems a normal teenager: socially awkward, obsessed with video games and always hungry. But his mother has a feeling that her sweet, nerdy son is hiding something … and she’s just found a $40,000 Rolex watch under his bed.

Suddenly very frightened that Tyson is involved in something bad, she gets in touch with private investigator Elvis Cole and asks him to do some digging.

The information that Cole uncovers surprises everyone. Tyson spooks and runs. And then people start dying …
