Devil You Know

by Cathy MacPhail

Overview

"Baz was the kind of friend I wanted. Everyone seemed a bit afraid of him."

Forced to move away from his dad in Aberdeen to a run-down Glasgow council estate, Logan thinks he's pretty lucky to have made any friends -- let alone Baz and the boys. Baz might have a bit of reputation, be a bit mouthy, but he's the kind of friend who'll stick up for you; who'll make life interesting -- or should that be dangerous?

When Logan, Baz and the boys get caught up a local turf war Baz is the first to fight back. But the aftermath leads Logan and his friends deeper into a world of real-life gangs, threats and lethal revenge.

When the worst happens, Baz disappears, leaving Logan to take the fall. Has Baz really deserted him?

Award-winning author Cathy MacPhail once again delivers a stand-out, action-packed teen thriller with a sensational twist.
