A fast-paced, page-turning novel of secrets, family, and deception in unlikely places from the new author Joshua Kern.
Jay was having an off day. First, he gets pulled along by a crazy old man he stumbled on outside his house. That was weird, but not necessarily bad. Second, he sees the girl he has been in love with since he was a kid for the first time in years. That was great. Third, he is informed by that same old man that she is his sister. That, well that was beyond bad, especially when his own family gets involved.
Lexi's family has been keeping secrets from her for years, and when one of them comes to light involving Jay a boy from her past all bets are off. Leaving their families behind they set off in search of the truth in a country far from home.
Together they travel to France where they find themselves being followed. At first, it is all just fun and games, until they find themselves facing down the barrel of a gun. Running for their lives they find themselves fleeing from France to Germany, only to be captured in the most unlikely of places. A bank.
