The Dark Won't Wait — David A. Poulsen

Dom's life revolves around cars and baseball until a chance connection to a high school audition hands him a major role in a psychological thriller. This would be exciting enough, except that real life begins to shadow the script in a very creepy way as an elusive girl and a local murder draw Dom out of his otherwise quiet shell. With a nod to Frederick Knott's famous play Wait Until Dark and its subsequent film, this book has it all — drama, mystery, thrills aplenty, and contemporary teen humor.
