A convicted sex offender in need of a favor attempts to blackmail Van Buren in return for his silence.

With the clock ticking, Van Buren has a week to seek out his boyhood friends and search his soul while he sorts out three decades of deceit he helped create.\n\nFavorite Sons is a wonderful, suspenseful novel with nuanced, memorable characters and unpredictable plot twists.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1611450047\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1611450047.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yocum, Robin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
