"Like many a crackerjack thriller, this one boasts a breakneck
beginning...Rarely are kids in thrillers portrayed this
realistically...Deliberate, plausible, and gritty whodunit."

Telling the Truth Could Get Them Killed. Remaining Silent Could Be
Worse.
When Cooper, Hiro, and Gordy witness a robbery that leaves a man in a
coma, they find themselves tangled in a web of mystery and deceit that
threatens their lives. After being seen by the criminals--who may also
be cops--Cooper makes everyone promise never to reveal what they have
seen. Telling the truth could kill them. But remaining silent means an
innocent man takes the fall and a friend never receives justice.
Is there ever a time to lie? And what happens when the truth is
dangerous?
The three friends, trapped in a code of silence, must face the
consequences of choosing right or wrong when both options have their
price.
