Away Game: An Everett Reddick Thriller

By Chris Seyffert

Twelve boys on the trip. Eleven answer room check.

Fourteen year old Arden Vale disappears during a school basketball tournament. A trusted adult says his father picked him up.

His father says he never came.

Teacher and Navy veteran Everett Reddick finds Arden's phone still charging upstairs. The messages on it point toward a familiar number and someone who knew exactly how to make a boy trust the wrong instructions.

As police search for Arden, an old camera connects his disappearance to a summer crash everyone thought was settled. Someone has spent months protecting that story. Now a child has the evidence to destroy it.

Everett knows how to stay beside someone in trouble. Finding a missing boy will demand something harder: questioning people he trusted, facing what he overlooked, and helping police follow the evidence before Arden's captors decide what comes next.

Away Game is Book Two in the Everett Reddick series, a grounded short thriller about betrayal, buried evidence, and the cost of trusting the wrong person.
