Suddenly it wasnt just a game... Jacks eleven and hes in charge. Jacks in charge, said his mother as she disappeared up the road to get help. I wont be long. Now Jack and his two sisters wait on the hard shoulder in their stifling, broken down car, bickering and whining. But their mother doesnt come back. She never comes back. And after that long, hot summers day, nothing will ever be the same again. Four years later, a young woman called Catherine wakes to find a knife beside her bed, and a note that says: I could have killed you. Jacks fifteen now and still in charge. Of his sisters, of supporting them all, of making sure nobody knows theyre alone in the house... And - quite suddenly - of finding out who murdered his mother.
