The Boy

By Gary L. Clarke

Thirteen year old Jamie Gilroy slips away from his special school nature excursion to investigate the mysterious Trinity Quarry. It's there he discovers the body of Elise Ward. The sole witness to the murder of his entire family five years ago, the damaged boy has been in protective custody and hasn't spoken a word since. On seeing the woman's dead body, he regains his voice. The local police request specialist help from high profile Inspector Max Brann, psychologist and Major Crimes Unit head. At first, he's not interested. It's not in his jurisdiction and he has issues of his own--he's a single father, with a hostile daughter, and a department under threat, but he reconsiders when he's informed that Jamie Gilroy is involved. The gruesome and unresolved Gilroy case still haunts Max and he sees it as a way of accessing the boy.
