This book is about a man named Will whose brother is accused of murdering a girl in their small town. 11 years later, Ken, the brother, is still on the run. The whole family presumes he has been dead the entire time until Will finds a picture of his brother, taken less than 11 years ago. This leads him on a wild chase to find his brother and discover the truth about what happened all those years ago.

I loved this book. I am a big fan of this author and this is one of the best books of his I have ever read. It was very interesting, and just when you think you know what’s going to happen something else changes. The ending was great and completely unexpected. The only slight criticism I have is that the resolution can be a little bit hard to follow. The story changes so fast and so often that it is important to pay attention to all little details. Ultimately, this was a great book that everyone who likes mysteries should read.
