When Kristen Boone leaves Ashton, Idaho, to attend school at UCLA, she plans to pursue a career in theater and dance. But her plans are derailed when she meets Chad Nieteri, a wealthy, carefree, California boy who is intrigued by Kristen's wholesome Mormon values and begins dating her. What Kristen doesn't know is that Chad is also the leader of a gang of young men who support their extravagant lifestyles by impersonating police officers and stealing from illegal drug manufactures and dealers. When Kristen learns the truth about Chad and his friends, Chad sets out to silence her! Readers discover along with Kristen what true friendship means, and why the only way to find safety and real joy in today's world is to live the gospel.

I have bought EVERY book that Jack Weyland has ever wrote,and I still have them. I have NEVER been disappointed, if you are looking for a great book then buy a Jack Weyland book. I am 29yrs old and I have been reading his books since I was in 4th grade. He comes out with a new one about once a year... I cant wait for the next one to come out....
