Kyle Kirby has planned a cruel and unusual revenge on Cass McBride, the most popular girl in school, for the suicide of his brother David. He digs a hole, drugs her, kidnaps her, and puts her in a box. He buries her alive. What Happened to Cass McBride is a fast-paced psychological thriller told from the point of view of three different characters about the most harrowing 48 hours of their lives. It's the story of how grief and an abusive mother tears a guy apart, turning him into a monster; how an A-list girl uses words as her weapon to keep her nemesis talking--and keep herself breathing; and how a cop assigned to the case, Ben Gray, knows that the chances of finding Cass and bringing her home alive shrivels with each passing hour. With its gripping narrative style and thought- provoking ending, What Happened to Cass McBride will establish Gail Giles as the next master of suspense for teens.
