Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Miss Osorio, do you mind explaining to me why - when I pulled up next to your car in the lot and shined in my spotlight - I saw both front seats pushed all the way forward and that orange shirt you're wearing on the headrest of your driver's seat?"In the small town of Kent, Illinois and the surrounding communities, secrets die young and lies die hard, but rumors take on new life with every breath.With the approach of winter, dangerous rumors resurface, and an unidentified citizen files a formal complaint with Cal's school district and the Illinois State Board of Education. Faced with these threats, Cal and Selena double-down, becoming even more reckless in their determination to be together. Cal's wife creeps ever closer to proving her husband's indiscretions, Selena's mother intensifies her quest for answers, and the local police come within inches of exposing the taboo relationship. Pressure builds, wearing away at Cal's resolve to maintain the charade, and something has got to give.In this chaos, there can be no painless road forward for anyone involved, anymore. Can Cal continue to avert the official inquiries from his school's administrators? What happens if Lilith acquires the proof she desperately seeks? Will Demi finally confront Selena about her suspicious behavior in recent months? What happens if this dynamic, delicate landscape reaches critical mass? And, of course, we have to wonder: Will Cal find himself in ruin, as prophesied years earlier by Mr. Mirai, the somewhat mysterious, blind old man who sometimes knows things he shouldn't?"I've got the police in this town watching your every move, 24/7, Liam. Look down the alley. . . go ahead, look. . ." and I did, trying to look surprised. "See that police car parked down there, off to the left? Yeah, watching your every move, 24/7."
