When Neil Garvin accidently hits and kills a fellow high school after a night of partying, he panics and stuffs the body in the truck of the car. Still drunk when he gets home he wobbles into the house and passes out. The next morning, the boy's body is gone and Neil is left wondering what happened to it.
Things get complicated when Neil's dad, the Sheriff, tries to thwart an investigation. Lacking any conversation about the dead boy, Neil knows that his father has hidden the body and is doing his level best to protect his son.
Enter Neil's uncle, an FBI officer, and the excitement really begins.
Don't miss this fast-paced book.
