A chance meeting with Jenny at an Oxford party leaves seventeen-year-old Chris with hope for a summer romance—and no premonition of trouble. Busy with his job and soon in love with Jenny, whose cheerful surface belies the dark uncertainty of her past, Chris misses all the signs of danger. Before he knows it, he’s caught in the sinister web of a criminal whose desire for revenge crushes all those who stand in his way.

“An engrossing, tragic story with rare depth of feeling. . . . Readers won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Fans of Robert Cormier should appreciate this tense thriller.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
