Blood on Her Hands by Stephen Edger

Woken in the night by banging on the front door, Ellie is shocked to find her 15 year old daughter Ruby on the doorstep with blood on her hands.  Ellie had believed that Ruby was upstairs asleep in bed but she had climbed out of her bedroom window to meet her boyfriend Jamie.  Ruby had fought off Jamie's advances in the local woods, she had pushed him, he had fallen and hit his head on a rock, she could not find a pulse.

Ellie heads to the woods to find Jamie but when she gets to the clearing she sees a bloody rock but Jamie is not there.  Jamie is reported as missing by his mother, who is Ellie's best friend, the police then want to talk to Ruby who may have been the last person to have seen him.  

Ruby's father is in prison and is soon due to be released.  Ellie is determined to protect Ruby at all costs.
