How far will a father go to save his son? A page-turning story of
rebellion, greed, and the high price of a second chance from 'one
of the finest crime writers in America' THE TIMES. Hidden beneath
the floorboards in a house he's remodeling, Christopher Flynn
discovers something very tempting-and troubling. Summoning every
bit of maturity and every lesson he's learned the hard way, Chris
leaves what he found where he found it and tells his job partner to
forget it, too. Knowing trouble when he sees it-and walking the
other way-is a habit Chris is still learning. Chris's father,
Thomas Flynn, runs the family business where Chris and his friends
have found work. Thomas is just getting comfortable with the idea
that his son is grown, working, and on the right path at last. Then
one day Chris doesn't show up for work-and his father knows deep in
his bones that danger has found him. Although he wishes it weren't
so, he also knows that no parent can protect a child from all the
world's evils. Sometimes you have to let them find their own way
home.
