Publisher's Synopsis
In the middle of the night, 14-year-old Samuel is woken by a terrified scream. The police arrive to find him sobbing on the kitchen floor, cradling his mother's lifeless body, but they hit a dead end before the investigation has even begun - although he witnessed the murder, Samuel is blind. But when Detective Jessica Daniel meets the boy, the way he uses just his sense of sound to accurately locate her hand to shake it convinces her that this clever young teenager could hold the key to the entire case.
