Alvin, Alabama, is the only home eleven-year-old Abe Teal has ever known. His mother, Leah, is a second-generation town cop who’s gotten her life back on track after getting pregnant at 17 with Abe’s sister Carry. Alvin’s so tiny that the high school is in the next town, but it isn’t too small for murder…
When one of Carry’s classmates disappears, Abe’s mother is haunted by memories of the death of another teenaged girl twelve years ago. Her first case as the town’s new detective remains unsolved. Now that not one but two young girls have disappeared again, Mother Teal finds herself driven – and extremely worried about her own daughter, who has only recently entered “the difficult years.” Meanwhile, Abe and his BFF Dewey are convinced that the new neighbor across the street from the Teal home is up to no good – maybe he’s even the killer.
