Clifford Beal: Little Sins, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Blood trumps friendship... especially once it's been spilled It's 1968: Billy McCaskill's nearly sixteen, growing up in Rhode Island, and enjoying an idyllic summer in a year of national turmoil. Turmoil that's a world away from bike-riding with pals and finding a first girlfriend. Inseparable from his best friend Paulie, the two embark on a clandestine camp-out on private property reserved for their Boy Braves troop. But they soon stumble upon a corpse - and they recognize who it is. Billy knows the only people who are aware of the place are a handful of troop committee men - including both their fathers. More damning, he finds evidence near the shallow grave that could point to his father's involvement - a discovery he conceals from Paulie. Once the police are called in, Billy's doubts about his father - and Paulie's - begin to mount. Now, somehow, he must save his family by finding the truth himself - before the police do. **If you liked the suspense of Stephen King's The Body or Dennis Lehane's Mystic River, then you'll relish Little Sins.A gripping novel of lost innocence and impossible choices.
