'Like many a crackerjack thriller, this one boasts a breakneck beginning...Rarely are kids in thrillers portrayed this realistically...Deliberate, plausible, and gritty whodunit.' --Booklist Starred Review Telling the Truth Could Get Them Killed. Remaining Silent Could Be Worse. When Cooper, Hiro, and Gordy witness a robbery that leaves a man in a coma, they find themselves tangled in a web of mystery and deceit that threatens their lives. After being seen by the criminals---who may also be cops---Cooper makes everyone promise never to reveal what they have seen. Telling the truth could kill them.

The three friends, trapped in a code of silence, must face the consequences of choosing right or wrong when both options have their price.

Great book. Highly recommend. Twelve year old was intrigued from the first chapter. He isn't an avid reader so when he got into it, I thought """"we are on a winner"""" with this book. I liked that there was an application section at the back of the book, where it gives some life lessons and makes the reader think about the consequences of actions and reactions. We are yet to read the other books in the series.
