A father questions whether his son could be guilty of a terrible crime
in this “gripping, beautifully written [and] devastating” thriller
(Harlan Coben). Eric Moore has reason to be happy. He has a prosperous
business, comfortable home, and stable family life in a quiet town.
Then, on an ordinary night, his teenage son, Keith, is asked to
babysit Amy Giordano, the eight-year-old daughter of a neighboring
family. The next morning Amy is missing. Suddenly Eric is one of
the stricken parents he has seen on television, professing faith in
his child’s innocence. As the police investigation increasingly
focuses on Keith, Eric must counsel his son, find him a lawyer, and
protect him from the community’s steadily growing suspicion. Except
that Eric is not so sure his son is innocent. And if Keith is
not . . . and might do the same thing again . . . what then
should a father do? Nominated for an Edgar Award for Best Novel,
and winner of a Barry Award for Best Novel, Red Leaves is a
“heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching” story of broken trust and one
man’s heroic effort to hold fast the ties that bind him to
everything he loves (New York Daily News). “The totally
unexpected resolution is both shocking and perfectly apt.”
