First edition. Signed by the author. Fine in fine dust jacket. Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become spying, overprotective parents. But their sixteen-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant and aloof lately, and after the recent suicide of his classmate, Spencer Hill, they can't help but worry. They install a spy program on Adam's computer and within days are jolted by a strange message to him from an unknown correspondent: "Just stay quiet and all safe." Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for her son, Betsy Hill is struck by one photo in particular which appears to have been taken on the night of Spencer's death....and he wasn't alone. She thinks it's Adam Baye standing just outside the camera's range, but when Adam disappears, it becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community.
