Waiting for Sarah Source

After a terrible car accident, Mike's parents and sister are dead, and both his legs are amputated. The pain and the accident still haunt him constantly, and when he goes back to school he has difficulty fitting in. He is bitter and does not want to socialize with any schoolmates except Sarah. This new girl is different; she is keeping a terrible secret. Mike finally opens up to her and realizes that Sarah needs his help. With his wheelchair, he can help solve a murder committed 13 years ago.

Waiting for Sarah is a chilling and compelling story written by Bruce McBay and James Heneghan, author of The Grave and Flood.
