(3) YA In this gripping first-person narrative, a fourteen-year-old boy tries to escape his fate as the son of a serial killer by assuming the identity of one of his father's victims and rejoining that boy's family. Swift pace, believable dialogue, and realistic details (some gruesome but not gratuitously so) move the story along until its shocking (perhaps improbable to some) resolution.
