With his father as the prime suspect in a boy's disappearance, Francis must confront his family's dark past-and his brother's unsolved murder. Twenty-three years ago, at a small dinner party in a Chicago suburb, Francis Scroll's nine-year-old brother, Lucas, was found floating face down in his parents' bathtub. Lucas's friend Sam is the only person who can reveal the truth, but he is unable—or unwilling—to speak, and Lucas's death is ruled a tragic accident. Francis is forced to confront the past he buried long ago when Sam's own nine-year-old son goes missing, and all the evidence points to Francis's vengeful father as the prime suspect. In order to save the life of a young boy, Francis must unearth the truth about what happened the night his brother died.

      Joseph’s debut is a heart-wrenching chronicle of two families, one with a missing son, the other still reeling from the death of a son years before. In 1992, nine-year-old Lucas Scroll was found dead in a bathtub in his parents’ home in a Chicago suburb. The last person to see Lucas alive was Sam Farr, a classmate who was over for dinner that fatal night. Fast forward to 2015, when Sam’s nine-year-old son, Matthew, has gone missing, and former cop Alex Scroll, Lucas’s father, is the prime suspect. Caught in the middle of the maelstrom is Francis Scroll, now Francis Clarke, Lucas’s older brother. Confronted by the missing boy’s mother, Miranda Farr, Francis doesn’t want to believe that his father is involved, but he can’t be sure. So he sets out to find Matthew and end the newest chapter of a drama he’s tried for decades to leave behind. Only a few forgotten details, which don’t affect the overall storytelling or denouement, mar this page-turner with its haunting, well-developed characters and tantalizing plot. Agent: Barbara Poelle, Irene Goodman Literary Agency.
