Synopsis
A teenager and his brother are forced to flee their home after a murder investigation closes in, and the boy's brother is a soldier and the boy's father is a cop — the plot is built on a family caught in a police manhunt, which is why crime and suspense fit better than any other genre.
The tone is dark and tense throughout, and the book is a classic of YA suspense fiction, so YA and suspense are the core genre tags. Moods reflect the constant threat and the grim reality of the violence and betrayal the characters face.
