Publisher's Synopsis
Cal Weaver reluctantly agrees to give a lift to a bedraggled-looking girl one rainy night, though he's aware that inviting a teenaged girl into his car may not be the smartest move. During their short journey, Cal discovers that Claire Sanders is not all she seems. But nothing prepares him for the consequences of trying to help her out. The next morning he finds he's gone from Good Samaritan to murder suspect, and with one girl dead and another missing, he's suddenly at the centre of a deadly puzzle that reaches right through the small town of Griffon - from its bullying police force to its strangely furtive mayor - and finally to one family's shocking secret.
