| Publisher Description: Dylan's wish comes true when Coach Scott names him to the starting lineup for the Mountview High Hunters' first game of the playoffs. But just when he should be concentrating on basketball, Dylan becomes the target of some off-court aggression. As he's driving his girlfriend, Jenna, home one night, a black pickup truck tries to run them off the road. The police call it an accident. But even as Dylan tries to put it behind him, he has a sense of impending danger that he can't shake. When Jenna starts receiving threats from an anonymous cyberbully telling her to "keep quiet," Dylan becomes seriously concerned about her safety. Jenna has no idea what the cyberbully thinks she knows. But Dylan will have to help her figure it out fast if they're ever going to feel safe again. |
