When a rash of suicides disturbs Summerton, an oddly perfect tourist town on the west coast of New Zealand, the younger siblings of the dead boys become suspicious and begin an investigation that reveals dark secrets and puts them in grave danger. First person recount. Suggested level: secondary. Summerton is perfect: gorgeous weather, stunning scenery, cute out-of-towners to meet. But sharp-tongued Keri has been left shattered with grief by her older brother's suicide. She discovers her other friends have also lost brothers in suspicious circumstances. Does Summerton hold dark secrets?
