They install a sophisticated spy program on Adamas computer, and within days are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: aJust stay quiet and all safe.a

Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer put together by his classmates, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her sonas death . . . and he wasnat alone. She thinks it is Adam Baye standing just outside the cameraas range; but when Adam goes missing, it soon becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community.
