Odd Child Out by Gilly MacMillan

�How well do you know the people you love...?

Best friends Noah Sandler and Abdi Mahad have always been inseparable.� But when Noah is found floating unconscious in Bristol's Feeder Canal, Abdi can't--or won't--tell anyone what happened.

Just back from a mandatory leave following his last case, Detective Jim Clemo is now assigned to look into this unfortunate accident.� But tragedy strikes and what looked like the simple case of a prank gone wrong soon ignites into a public battle.� Noah is British.� Abdi is a Somali refugee.�� And social tensions have been rising rapidly in Bristol.� Against this background of fear and fury two families fight for their sons and for the truth.� Neither of them know how far they will have to go, what demons they will have to face, what pain they will have to suffer.

Because the truth hurts.
