YA
After his brother commits suicide, Kyle Kirby kidnaps and buries alive Cass, the girl he holds responsible. Chapters alternate between the first-person voices of Kyle and Cass and the third-person perspective of police detective Ben (each with a unique typeface). Kyle's wrath, Cass's terror, and Ben's urgency are palpable, as is the horrifying claustrophobia, in this unnerving thriller.
