(2) YA Two teenagers go missing from Pete's small English town. One is a local celebrity, the other is Pete's best friend. With hallucinogenic imagery and inexorable pacing, Brooks's intricately constructed mystery is dense but navigable. The two-pronged conclusion unfolds with aching realism and biting social commentary: one mystery brought to brutal but satisfying completion, the other haunting in its open-ended ambiguity.
