OLDER FICTION
Northrop, Michael

Gentlemen

(3) YA When their friend Tommy goes missing and their English teacher begins behaving suspiciously while teaching Crime and Punishment, Micheal and his dead-end friends assume foul play. They go about investigating a nonexistent murder with disastrous results. No happy endings here, as the boys' violent actions have realistic consequences. The teen voices are pitch-perfect in their awkward ignorance, longing, and despair.
