Rem, whose friend was murdered by classmate Franklin, struggles to understand whether now-incarcerated Franklin is responsible for more deaths. A violent video game, Rem's scientist mother's illicit rehabilitation experiments on Franklin, and sexual tension between the two boys all factor in ominously. Floreen's complex thriller titillates readers with violence even as it condemns the ways modern war, science, and society might enable it.
