Jordan's brother was killed two years ago in what appeared to be a random act.

Now, as the family reads their impact statements in court before the suspect is sentenced, a different story emerges. Maybe this was not a random act. Maybe Jordan knows more than he is saying. What was the impact of that violent act? And who set the wheels in motion?

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read!

"Students, particularly boys, who are struggling to read, may be intrigued by this story of revengeful stalking, murder and betrayal."
