How a Boy Falls
By Steven Dietz

The loss of a young boy casts suspicion on his newly-hired au pair, as well as on the wealthy parents who have hired her. As the parents seek revenge upon one another, the young au pair is hatching a plot of her own. How a Boy Falls is a psychological thriller about the way in which past events can be weaponized to shape the present.
