Reviews
"Lynn's voice is authentically sardonic and compelling…. the intersections of Lynn's and Logan's story line with the consequences of Hayes's shady dealings are consistently exciting." - Publishers Weekly "David Zimmerman has written a beautifully menacing novel. I found it impossible to stop reading -- as teenage girls flirt with danger online, an AWOL soldier hides out in a closet, and drug deals go dead wrong -- and you will too, as the danger steadily escalates, the sentences unspooling like a detonator line that sizzles toward an explosive, unforgettable ending."-Benjamin Percy, author of The Wilding and Refresh, Refresh "An engrossing and unforgettable tale based on actual events….

Synopsis

Her mother has become involved in her pill-popping boyfriend's petty criminal activites, so she takes refuge in an online friendship with a troubled Marine, Logan. When he comes to visit, he's forced to stay over in a storage space only accessible by her and is listed AWOL. Realising she has found something in her life she can finally control, she takes his clothes, car keys and has his car towed. The two plotlines intersect with explosive consequences., In rural Georgia, a willful teenager allows a man on the run to hide out at her home, lodging him in a secret room., Fifteen-year-old Lynn Marie Sugrue is doing her best to make it through a difficult summer. Her mother works long hours as a nurse, and Lynn suspects that her mother's pill-popping boyfriend has enlisted her in his petty criminal enterprises. Lynn finds refuge in online flirtations, eventually meeting up with a troubled young soldier, Logan Loy, and inviting him home. When he's forced to stay over in a storage space accessible through her closet, and the Army subsequently lists him as AWOL, she realizes that he's the one thing in her life that she can control. Meanwhile, her mother's boyfriend is on the receiving end of a series of increasingly violent threats, which places Lynn squarely in the cross-hairs.
