Things in Cody’s world seem to be going pretty well. Until, that is, his girlfriend, Clea, is sent off to boarding school across the country and a torn ACL ends his high school football career. But bad things come in threes—or in Cody’s case, sixes and twelves—and the worst is yet to come. While limping through town one day, Cody sees a newspaper heading: Local Girl Missing. Clea, now his ex, has disappeared from her boarding school in Vermont and the only clue is a letter she sent to Cody the morning of her disappearance. With that as his guide, Cody sets out to find out what happened. Once in Vermont, he unearths the town’s secrets—and finds out that football isn’t the only thing he’s good at. Reality Check is another edge-of-your-seat suspense novel by New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award–nominated author Peter Abrahams.
