A coming-of-age story with a murder in the background. This reminds me of the earlier Stephen King's excellent characters, spot-on dialog, and great world-building without any gore and only a tiny bit of supernatural shivers. And short! I was hesitant to pick this up given the lurid cover on my paperback copy, but once I did I was glad. It's a great story.
