The Boy in the WallThe Boy in the Wall

"It was supposed to be a fun dog demo day for the students at Henry Horner Elementary School in Chicago--but when Cory Pratt's cadaver dogs sniff out the body of a missing teenage boy wedged into the wall of the cafeteria, his family's life is shattered. It seems like tragedy follows the Shortridges. With the eldest son having taken his life a few years earlier, Patrick being found mutilated and murdered devastates the whole clan further. Now everyone is fearing for seven-year-old sister Charlotte. When a kidnapping attempt on the young girl fails, Cory and his detective sister Crystal are sure someone is targeting the Shortridges. But who is behind these savage attacks and why would someone want to kill off such a seemingly unassuming family?"--Book jacket flap.
