Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Gr 6-10-- Brad awakens with a fierce hangover after attending a drinking party with his best friend, Alden. His clouded memory tells him that something terrible has happened. Although Alden denies any wrongful occurrence, Brad begins to search for evidence that leads him toward a possible car accident and a missing man. He meets Ellen, who is searching for her missing father, and, voila, they discover that they are both on the same trail. It soon becomes clear that this trail leads to a coverup initiated by Alden's father, a less than scrupulous but very powerful judge. Despite the typically dark and oppressive mood, Ellen and Brad manage to find a little romance. Bennett, the master of short sentences, has suspensfully plotted another mystery that is sure to appeal to reluctant readers. This offering is all too easily resolved, however, and is not as satisfying as Skeleton Man (1986) and Dark Corridor (1988, both Watts) . All in all, it's an easy-to-read page turner.-- Judie Porter, Media Services Center, Portsmouth School Department, RI
