Little Sins: A Novel of Suspense and Betrayal - Paperback

by Clifford Beal (Author)

Billy just discovered a body. Discovering the truth could be worse.

It's 1968: Billy McCaskill's nearly sixteen, on the verge of scoring his driver's license, and enjoying an idyllic summer in a year of national turmoil. Turmoil that's a world away from his life with pals and finding a girlfriend. Inseparable from his best friend Paulie, the two embark on a clandestine camp-out on private property reserved for their Boy Braves troop.

But they soon stumble upon a corpse - and they recognize who it is. Billy knows the only people who are aware of the place are a handful of troop committee men - including both their fathers. More damning, he finds evidence near the shallow grave that could point to his father's involvement - a discovery he conceals from Paulie. Once the police are called in, Billy's doubts about his father - and Paulie's - begin to mount. But blood trumps friendship once it's spilled.

Now, somehow, he must decide what to do: lie and save his family, tell the truth to the police, or find out himself what really happened. Before the police do.
