In this fast-paced sequel to Devil's Bridge, Ben discovers a car in the water off Martha's Vineyard and, later, the teenage driver's body. He also begins making deliveries for a charismatic older friend, but when he learns he's been delivering drugs--and that the drugs are related to the driver's death--Ben comes to his senses. Though the message is obvious, the novel is strong enough to overcome the moralizing.
