Book Description:
The acclaimed author of a dozen suspense novels tells a gripping tale of a family--and a town--ripped apart by a sensational crime.
Danny Magill is just about a perfect kid. He has everything going for him--looks, grades, athletic ability, and a practically guaranteed admission to the college of his choice. Then the police come pounding at his door, arresting Danny for a shocking crime and shattering the perfect world of his family.
How could this nightmare be happening to this boy? This family? This town? How will they all survive?
Judith Kelman's gripping psychological novel goes beyond the issue of guilt or innocence and skillfully answers the question of what binds a family together.
"Judith Kelman gets better all the time!" --Mary Higgins Clark

Extremely well written - it keeps you guessing throughout! Did not want to see the book end.
Great book to read really enjoyed... It was very hard to put down...
Judith Kelman still "gets better all the time" (Mary Higgins Clark). Here she paints the picture-perfect magill family--who are about to face a horror they never would have imagined. . .
Prominent residents of an affluent subur, Jess and Charlie Magill have everything they could want. A happy marriage. Three beautiful children and a charming home. Then one day, the police pound on the door to arrest their teenage son for a shocking crime- and in a matter of minutes, their picture-perfect world falls to pieces...
Back Cover: Prominent residents of an affluent town, Jess and Charlie Magill have a happy marriage and three beautiful, talented children.
Then one day the police pound on their door of their charming suburban home to arrest their teenage son for a shocking crime--
and in a matter of minutes, their perfect world falls to pieces....
But as Jess investigates the events leading up to this fateful day, she dicovers that things may not have been "perfect" for quite some time. And that her family's nightmare has only just begun...
Perfect families are not always what they seem to be.
