Description
The Pact by Jodi Picoult For eighteen years, two families have lived next door to each other, sharing in the joys and struggles of everyday life. But when tragedy strikes, they are forced to confront the darkest secrets of their children's lives. The devastating news that Emily has died from a gunshot wound is a shock to everyone involved, and as the investigation unfolds, questions arise about the true nature of Chris and Emily's relationship. As the local detective delves deeper into the case, he must consider whether Chris's account of events is entirely trustworthy. The gun found at the scene holds a single unspent bullet, which Chris claims was intended for himself. But can anyone truly know their child? This thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of family relationships and the difficult choices we make when faced with unimaginable tragedy.
