In The News

“As with the finest interrogation dramas, like the movie The Usual Suspects, the final reveal is both satisfying and surprising, but it's the well-structured and paced buildup that's most worth relishing.” —Booklist

“The author writes intriguing and believable characters…The result is not only suspense but a memorable and believable characterization. Top notch.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Gripping . . . A rewarding quick pick for mystery fans.” —BCCB

“Price's taut thriller takes place during the police questioning of high school sophomore Gabe, who has witnessed a murder he might be partly responsible for . . . Tension builds effectively, and the final revelations, including those that involve Gabe's own family, do not disappoint. The fast pace, dark mood, and well-plotted story line should have readers hooked.” —Publishers Weekly
