But someone is watching, and Pip may be in more danger than she realizes. With his help, Pip digs deeper, unveiling unsavory facts about Andie and the real reason Sal’s friends couldn’t provide him with an alibi. Unable to ignore the gaps in the case, Pip sets out to prove Sal’s innocence, beginning with interviewing his younger brother, Ravi. Andie’s body was never recovered, and Sal was assumed by most to be guilty of abduction and murder.

Sixteen-year-old Corrinne begins her self-focused narrative with a plea-“If you hate me at first, keep reading.” She’s easy to dislike: Wealthy, shallow and something of a bad girl, she readily evades her lax parents to enjoy lots of underage drinking.
