An unforgettable new mystery from Caroline B. Cooney, international
bestselling author of The Face on the Milk Carton
Caroline B. Cooney is a master of taking a small, common moment--seeing
a face on a milk carton, posting a harmless photo--and turning that
moment into a thrilling story.--Jeff Abbott, New York Times
bestselling author of Never Ask Me
Death isn't unexpected in a nursing home. But murder is.
Freddy leads a life of little responsibility. His mother is dead, his
sisters are far-flung across the globe, and he can't quite work up
enough motivation to find himself a girlfriend. Freddy has been forced
to place his beloved grandmother, now deep in dementia, in a nursing
home. Freddy visits her often, cherishing and also hating the time he
spends with the grandmother he always adored, now a ghost of her former
self.
When a fragile old woman already close to death is murdered in that
nursing home, Freddy panics. His sources of income are iffy, as are his
friends. He has to keep his grandmother safe, keep himself anonymous,
and keep the police out of his life--or the complications could become
deadly.
