Publisher's Synopsis
Can we ever really know our children? For 18 years the Hartes and the Golds have lived next door to each other, sharing everything from Chinese food to carpool duty. Parents and children alike are best friends - so it's no surprise that in high school Chris and Emily's friendship blossoms into something more. When the midnight calls come in from the hospital, no one is prepared: Emily is dead at 17 from a gunshot wound to the head as part of an apparent suicide pact. Chris tells police that the next bullet was meant for himself, but a local detective has doubts. The families find themselves torn apart as the investigation deepens.
