At the same time that Matt and Parker find the body of the dead man in the creek, they recognize George Evans, the owner of the antique shop where Parker's mother works.


  • A Chilling Discovery: A weekend camping trip turns into a nightmare when best friends Matt and Parker find a body floating in Indian Creek.
  • A Mother in Danger: Parker's mom is tangled up with her suspicious boss from the antique shop, and the boys are sure she's hiding something terrifying.
  • Friendship Against the Odds: Parker is determined to protect his family, and Matt sticks by him—even when it means facing down murderers.
  • A Four-Legged Hero: With their loyal but trouble-making dog Otis by their side, the boys might just have the backup they need when things get really scary.
