Michael Thorne returns to his home town from two years at a special school where he was sent after being implicated in the death of a girl in the local park. The story follows his attempts to come to terms with his return and track down the real murderer. The murder mystery is cleverly bound up with Michael's own search for identity as the novel heads to the inevitable (and literally) chilling climax. This is one for book boxes.
