Five years after the untimely murder of his mother, seventeen-year-old Gabriel Hastings lives in a town called Shaw with his father. They have recovered and lead lives as casual and as humble as they can. Gabriel lives the life that many teenagers wish for. He's got it all - the popularity, a promising future, friends, and the adoration of an entire town. But there's always a price to pay. SECRET: A letter from a secret admirer flips the casual rhythm of Gabriel's life on its head, and when he decides to secretly pursue his five-year crush, the letters and messages begin to take on an ominous intonation threatening to burn the foundations of his successes. SUSPECT: Gabriel learns that his secret admirer is a greater threat than expected. His relationship outed to the semi-religious town of Shaw, Gabriel becomes the suspect in the murder of a schoolmate. When another is kidnapped and heavily battered, Gabriel and his friends become leading suspects while trying to find out the truth. When a friend goes missing, Gabriel and his friends must finish what their missing friend started and hopefully find him before it is too late. SERPENT: Gabriel finally pieces the puzzle together. The attacks, the letters, the messages, and the evidence - they all portray a side that is never shown and always hidden. It portrays the tactics of a mastermind in the making - a sociopathic psychopath, and all evidence points to one person Gabriel would never think to suspect. A wolf in sheep's clothing, a silver-tongued serpent. Gabriel must now confront this masterminded criminal before anyone else around him gets hurt.
