The Pass — Lorne Oliver

•Was it suicide? Or was it murder?
For Spencer Alcrest, accepting his friend would take her own life is something he can't fathom. He's desperate to uncover the truth surrounding her mysterious death and isn't afraid to put his life on the line to find it.
For Spencer's sister Chrys, sitting at home while her brother searches for answers isn't her idea of fun.
And when the bullets start flying, it's too late to turn back. It's time to dive in.
