"Powerful...a breathtaking read, with flawed and authentic characters who hit so close to home that at times it is impossible not to root for them."Ā ā€”Ā San Francisco Chronicle

A body burns in the high desert hills. A boy walks into a fire station, pale with the shock of discovery. A middle school teacher worries when her colleague is late for work. By dayā€™s end, when the body is identified as local math teacher Adam Merkel, a small Nevada town will be rocked to its core.Ā Ā 

Adam Merkel left a university professorship in Reno to teach middle school in Lovelock seven months before he died. A quiet, seemingly unremarkable man, he connected with just one of his students: Sal Prentiss, a lonely sixth grader who lives with his uncles on a desolate ranch in the hills. The two outcasts developed a tender, trusting friendship that brought each of them hope in the wake of tragedy. But it is Sal who finds Adamā€™s body, charred almost beyond recognition, half a mile from his unclesā€™ compound.

Nora Wheaton, the middle schoolā€™s social studies teacher, dreamed of a life far from Lovelock only to be dragged back on the eve of her college graduation to care for her disabled father, a man she loves but canā€™t forgive. She sensed in the new math teacher a kindred spirit--another soul bound to Lovelock by guilt and duty. After Adamā€™s death, she delves into his past for clues to who killed him and finds a dark history she understands all too well. But the truth about his murder may lie closer to home. For Sal Prentissā€™s grief seems heavily shaded with fear, and Nora suspects he knows more than heā€™s telling about how his favorite teacher died. As she tries to earn the wary boyā€™s trust, she finds he holds not only the key to Adamā€™s murder, but an unexpected chance at the life she thought sheā€™d lost.

Weaving together the last months of Adamā€™s life, Noraā€™s search for answers, and a young boyā€™s anguished moral reckoning, this unforgettable thriller brings a small American town to vivid life, filled with complex, flawed characters wrestling with the weight of the past, the promise of the future, and the bitter freedom that forgiveness can bring.
