Publisher's Synopsis
Social worker Kit Goddard is convinced that Sandbeach Child Services have let an injured 17-year-old boy down. Since the referral came in, it had been passed between departments, colleagues brushing it off as a low risk case. But Kit can't shake the feeling that something isn't quite right. Scanning the referral, she notices that the house Dylan Meredith lives in with his mother had been described as decrepit. The anonymous caller said he was injured, frightened and afraid to tell the truth. In a bid to trace the anonymous caller for more information, Kit sets off to the small coastal town of Rock. Only to be confronted with the sense of strangeness that surrounds the Meredith family and the rumours that have troubled this small community for years.
