Robin Matheson is just barely holding it together. Her husband, Tavis, was killed in Afghanistan, and parenting her three-year-old son Seth is challenging. One of the few people Robin knows is Tavis's best friend Cyril—a basement-dwelling computer geek—whom Robin wants little to do with. But Seth has latched onto him as his new best friend, and anyone who helps Seth grieve for his father is a plus. When unsettling details about Tavis's death arise, Cyril steps in to assist—and the consequences change everything.
VERDICT Strong characters and a twisty plot offer plenty of appeal, but Robin and Cyril's uneasy alliance-turned-friendship will especially resonate with readers.
