About the book

Chris Creed grew up as the class freak—the bullies’ punching bag. After he vanished, the weirdness that had once surrounded him began spreading. And it tore the town apart. Sixteen-year-old Torey Adams’s search for answers opens his eyes to the lies, the pain, and the need to blame someone when tragedy strikes, and his once-safe world comes crashing down around him.     Includes an interview with the author and a reader’s guide.

This e-book includes a sample chapter of WHAT HAPPENED TO LANI GARVER.


  • A Chilling YA Mystery: When Chris Creed, the class outcast, vanishes without a trace, sixteen-year-old Torey Adams is pulled into a search for the truth that turns his life upside down.
  • Small Town Thriller: Under the surface of Steepleton lies a web of secrets and resentments. As the investigation deepens, the facade of their perfect town begins to crack.
  • The High Cost of Bullying: Was Chris a runaway, a suicide, or something worse? Torey must confront his own role in the cruelty Chris faced and the painful consequences of being an outcast.
  • A Gripping Coming of Age Story: Torey thought he knew his friends, his family, and his hometown. But finding out what happened to Chris Creed will force him to question everything he believes.
