What you need to know before your trail

After a late night of partying, NYU student Matt Pine returns to his dorm room to devastating news: nearly his entire family–his mom, his dad, his little brother and sister–have been found dead from an apparent gas leak while vacationing in Mexico.

The tragedy makes headlines everywhere because this isn’t the first time the Pine family has been thrust into the media spotlight. Matt’s older brother, Danny–currently serving a life sentence for the murder of his teenage girlfriend Charlotte–was the subject of a viral true crime documentary suggesting that Danny was wrongfully convicted. However, Matt holds a secret about his brother that he’s never told anyone: the night Charlotte was killed Matt saw something that makes him believe his brother is guilty of the crime.

When Matt returns to his small hometown to bury his parents and siblings, he’s faced with a hostile community. Now, as the deaths in Mexico appear increasingly suspicious and connected to Danny’s case, Matt must unearth the truth behind the crime that sent his brother to prison–putting his own life in peril–and forcing him to confront his every last fear

Travel Guide

From NYU to Mexico

The locations in this novel are secondary to the plot really but they are there to show that when you find out your family have been murdered, the fact that you are hundreds of miles away is even worse. The fact is that your family were supposed to be on holiday. You are at university. Your brother is already in prison for a crime committed years earlier. But are the two crimes linked and is the brother in prison guilty at all?

We travel down to Tulum –  a great sandy resort – turns out to be the furthest from paradise you are ever going to meet.
