About this ebook

A young boy drowns in a tragic accident in a lake in upstate New York. Fourteen-year-old year old Tommy and his two friends are sure they know who drove him to take his own life: the boy's father is also convinced and pressurises the local Sheriff, Tommy's father, to make an arrest. But there is not enough evidence, and the boys decide to take things into their own hands.

A gripping tale of power, growing sexuality and the strength of rumours in a small community

'Sam Millar didn't invent the noir crime novel but ... he might as well have. Powerful. Not to be missed!' Jon Land, New York Times best-selling author of Strong at the Break and Betrayal

'Reminiscent of Steven King's classic, Stand by Me, and Dennis Lehane's Mystic River, Black's Creek is an atmospheric must-read, page-turning book.' New York Journal of Books
