Amazon Product Description:
Thirteen-year-old Johnny Merrimon has to face things no boy his age should face. In the year since his twin sister’s abduction his world has fallen apart: his father has disappeared and his fragile mother is spiralling into ever deeper despair.
Johnny keeps strong. Armed with a map, a bike and a flashlight, he stalks the bad men of Raven County. The police might have given up on Alyssa; he never will. Someone, somewhere, knows something they’re not telling.
Only one person looks out for Johnny. Detective Clyde Hunt shares his obsession with the case. But when Johnny witnesses a hit-and-run and insists the victim was killed because he’d found Alyssa, even Hunt thinks he’s lost it.
And then another young girl goes missing ...

Great stuff!
A really interesting crime thriller that has 13 yr old Johnny on the hunt for the truth about his twin sister's disappearance a year ago. Although one of the main characters (Hunt) is a detective, the novel deals with so much more. There are the relationships within the families of a smallish town, the grief that rips families apart, old Red Indian traditions and all combined in a gripping read. It has really likeable characters & great twists & turns. I really enjoyed it & didn't want to put it down!
