The day Bentley disappeared started like any other. His older sister has always been his protector-getting him ready for school, making him dinner, ensuring he's safe when their parents are too absent to notice. But when she comes home to an eerily silent house, Bentley is nowhere to be found. With no sign of struggle and their mother's office-normally off-limits-standing empty, she realizes something is very, very wrong. As she races to uncover the truth, she'll have to question everything she thought she knew about her family. Because Bentley didn't just disappear-someone took him. And they might be coming back for her next.
