About this book
Andy Barber is a respected assistant district attorney in a quiet Massachusetts suburb, the man neighbours trust when something terrible happens. Then a boy from his son's school is found dead in a park, and suspicion settles on fourteen-year-old Jacob Barber. Forced off the case and onto the other side of the system he has served for years, Andy must weigh evidence, rumour and his own instincts as a father against everything his training tells him. Told in Andy's own retrospective voice, the novel moves briskly between investigation, family tension and courtroom manoeuvring, building a grounded, morally uncomfortable story about loyalty, doubt and how far a parent will go.
