Book Synopsis

Brady loves life on the Chesapeake Bay with his friends J.T. and Digger.

Tragedy strikes when the DiAngelos' kayak overturns in the bay, and Brady wonders if it was more than an accident.

Priscilla Cummings deftly weaves a suspenseful tale of three teenagers caught in a wicked web of deception.

Review Quotes

"Cummings has created a multifaceted story that is as much about the families and life in the Chesapeake as it is about a prank gone awry. Brady's bighearted cousin Carl, his supportive father, and the anguished Mrs. DiAngelo are particularly well-developed characters who are pivotal in Brady's understanding of the path he must choose. This well-crafted story will have broad appeal."--School Library Journal
