A girl is later reported missing and the police attend the boys' school appealing for help. His friend persuades Chris they should not report what they had seen. The disappearance develops in to a murder investigation and to Chris's distress the police arrest the wrong man. The impending break-up of his parents' marriage and his mother's mental breakdown, are the background to Chris's awakening interest in the opposite sex. His increasing guilt over the failure to report what he knows to be vital evidence in the murder investigation finally brings about a violent dénouement.
