About this listen
Desperate to escape a family who will never accept him, a queer runaway in police custody borrows the identity of a boy who vanished years ago: Nate Beaumont. But when Nate's family come to take him home, he's trapped in a web of lies.
Then he meets Miles - the cute, clever and true-crime obsessed boy next door - who knows more than it seems. Unexpectedly, Miles agrees to help, in exchange for uncovering the truth about what happened years ago to his childhood best friend. As their investigation turns dangerous, their feelings turn real.
Time is running out.
They don't know who to trust.
And someone is watching who wants to keep this case cold.
Will they find the missing boy . . . or will they find each other?

A taut, moving thriller. (Irish Times)
Juicy murder/identity theft mystery with lots of twists and unexpected turns. Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson. A real page turner. (Peters, ‘Book of the Week’)
Twisty, thrilling, unputdownable - Better the Devil will grip you, break your heart, and make you constantly look over your shoulder. (David Fenne, author of Overemotional)
