Synopsis
In 1979, four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate- and fim the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns in evidence for the state and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace.
Now it's 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Unrepentant and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents - until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That's when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he's not the only one being haunted by the past..

"Kinsey Millhone is up there with the giants of the private-eye genre... Exhilarating" - Times Literary Supplement
