Two young boys meet in the small seaside town of Queenscliff, Australia. Tom has lived all his life there with his Australian family, whereas Drew has been raised in the U.S.A.
During that hot summer of sun, sea and adventure, the boys forge a lasting friendship.
Soon, however, a life-changing circumstance breaks the endless joy of their former, wonder-filled childhoods.
Two lives are needlessly wasted. A wicked lie is told!
The years pass.
Then, tragically, when Tom dies in questionable circumstances, Drew flies from his home in the US to Australia for his friend’s funeral.
Still troubled by that life-changing night in 1992, he’s determined to discover if Tom ever told anyone the truth. Were the two events related, and was their friendship deserving of the price they paid?
This superbly and intricately crafted mystery novel will keep the reader riveted to the narrative until the very end!
Filled with complex aspects of love, anger, ever-lasting friendship and horror, this extremely talented author masterfully unravels and reveals the truth to the reader.
