Jason Scream was supposed to disappear.
After fleeing north, hunted by the FBI, Vermont was never part of the plan. It was just a place to pass through. Quiet. Forgettable. Then a boy vanished. Evan Lark, seventeen, strange, invisible to everyone who mattered. The kind of kid people talk about only after it's too late. The official story is simple. Too simple. And Jason has learned the hard way that simple stories usually hide something rotten underneath. As he digs into a small town that prefers silence to truth, Jason begins to see patterns others have chosen not to notice. Men who pass through regularly. Questions no one asks. Woods that don't lie, even when people do. Jason isn't a cop.
