Praise for the CODE OF SILENCE Series

Some will find Shoemaker’s covering of every angle too exhaustive, but it is just this meticulousness that makes this novel stand apart. Rarely are kids in thrillers portrayed this realistically: sick with worry, horrified by injury, and smart but not preternaturally so. Mentions of multiple characters’ Christianity feel shoehorned in, but that doesn’t take away from this deliberate, plausible, and gritty whodunit.' ―Daniel Kraus, Booklist Review

THINGS YOU WOULD CHANGE ABOUT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME.
―I’d keep a journal. Capturing those emotions from high school years? Wow, would that come in handy now.
―I’d do a better job of reaching out to kids who were picked on by others.
―I’d have stayed home from work the day I totaled my first car… the 1966 Chevy Malibu.
―I’d change how I dressed. There is no way I’d wear those 70’s fashions again!
―I’d answer Mr. Burmeister’s question instead of laughing it off and walking away.



―I wouldn’t have believed my friends who told me the house on Ela Road was abandoned. And I definitely wouldn’t have gone in to see if all the things they said about the place were true.
―I wouldn’t have pulled some of the pranks I did… then again, I probably would. But I’d be smarter this time.
―I didn’t date many girls… but going back, I’d date less of them. I actually started dating my wife in high school. Knowing how well that turned out, if I could go back I’d start dating her a lot sooner.
―I’d talk more about the deeper issues of life with my friends. My faith.
―I’d do more to encourage my friends to avoid the self-destructive paths in life they ended up choosing.

Something is wrong with Cooper. He’s plagued by a fear he doesn’t understand and can’t control. Cooper just wants to escape, and a summer vacation aboard the restored cabin cruiser, The Getaway, with best friends Gordy, Hiro, and Lunk seems like the perfect way to do it. Two weeks of fun—with no mysteries or life-and-death danger. That’s the plan. But their plans are shattered the very first night when they witness a murder. Or did they? Despite their intentions of leaving the investigation to the police, narrow misses and creepy encounters lure them in. Is there really a body floating in the underwater currents of the lake? The closer they get to the truth, the deeper into danger they get. Too late they see the trap. Now each of them must face their own buried fears . . . just below the surface.
