When his beloved aunt--the woman who raised him--doesn't return after her shift as a night nurse and is later found murdered, there is only one place left for Tommie to go: \"home\" to the mother who handed him over the day he was born. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll is not as it seems behind the hedgerow surrounding the lavish Henneberry estate where Tommie's mother, Esther, works as live-in housekeeper. Her employers have agreed he can stay until she \"sorts things out,\" but as she's at the family's beck and call around the clock, Tommie is mostly left on his own to navigate the grounds, the massive house, and the twisted family inside. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSoon he is enmeshed in the oppressive attentions of matriarch Muriel, who is often heavily medicated, and of fifteen-year-old Martin, who treats Tommie sometimes like a kid brother, sometimes like a pawn in a confusing game. While Dr. Henneberry mostly ignores Tommie, he also seems eager for him to be gone. Then there's the elderly neighbour, who may know more about the family's past than anyone else will say. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy summer's end, the secrets and games tighten around Tommie and his mother, until a horrific crime is discovered and we are faced with an unthinkable question: could an eleven-year-old boy really have committed cold-blooded murder?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNICOLE LUNDRIGAN is the author of several critically acclaimed novels, including \u003ci\u003eHideaway\u003c\/i\u003e, which was shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Substitute, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGlass Boys\u003c\/i\u003e.
