When brothers Alex and Leo decide to try to find out what happened to Corey, they learn more about his world than they could have imagined. Everyone’s talking about the popular footballer, but the question remains: did anyone really know him? As Alex and Leo sink deeper into the past, they uncover old secrets, ready to resurface, and realise that someone in town must know something, which means someone they know might be the killer. Will bringing up the past jeopardise the brothers’ own futures? And could bringing a cold case back to life prove fatal?
Review
When brothers Alex and Leo decide to look into their town’s ongoing mystery of how a brilliant teenager was killed in a hit and run 25 years ago, they have no idea what they will uncover...
Leo is a great sportsman himself, who hides his actual academic talents, while Alex is a great artist he is. They enlist Harry, Alex’s best friend, to help them because of her ability to work through problems.
But when their Mum sees the danger that digging into the past can bring, she insists that they stop. But they are too invested in finding out the truth, so they continue investigating anyway. Can they possibly find out what happened all of those years ago?
This is a great story set in a small country town involving teachers, coaches, the mayor, and many other potential suspects around their parent’s age who were teenagers at the time. It has themes like sibling rivalry, but also sticking up for your sibling when they are in trouble, sporting success and striving to make it big, and uncovering secrets from the past that have been hidden for so long. It is a terrific story that I couldn’t put down that will appeal to all readers aged 11 and older.
