Mike and Riel

Fifteen-year-old Mike McGill has lived with his Uncle Billy since his mother's death. Only ten years older than Mike, Billy loves to party, and he doesn't pay much attention when Mike starts getting in trouble.

Mike's lies are spinning out of control and he's a suspect in a murder. If Mike really is innocent, why doesn't his alibi check out, and why are the police so sure that he's guilty?

A shallow grave. Human remains. An unsolved murder from years ago. It looks like the past is coming back to wreak havoc on Mike's new life.

Vin swears he had nothing to do with the robbery-or the two people who were shot. But Sal saw Vin running from the scene. Even after Vin is arrested, Mike isn't sure who to believe.

Mike is stunned when his friend is stabbed to death near the high school. Even though people were nearby, nobody will explain what happened. Can Mike discover the truth when no one will talk?
