Synopses & Reviews
It was more than a white lie. It was a deception on a grand scale. But the motive was admirable -- to save the bright future of a deserving young man. And the victim, too, was deserving -- an arrogant billionaire who would hardly notice his loss, crumbs from a vast fortune. All the plotters needed was a believable story, desperate and frightening but false. Nothing bad was supposed to happen. They were only crying wolf.
Who knew the wolf would be real?
Set against the backdrop of an elite New England college campus, Peter Abrahams delivers a thoroughly absorbing thriller with an intricate, tightly coiled plot, relentless tension, stunning reversals, and vividly rendered young characters who will learn the grave consequences of crying wolf.
