An excellent study in how evil people can be. Two friends are having a good time one night, when they realize they’ve just hit an object in the road–but it’s actually a body, and they realize they’ve killed someone. But, they’ve been drinking–they can’t call the police, can they?
Without spoiling the rest of the book, I can only tell you this simple event turns out to be an exercise in betrayal and deceit. The plot is simple, but the development is delicious, with a very satisfying conclusion.
