This is a compelling first novel told from the perspective of a man reflecting on his memories of himself as a 14-year old boy in Baton Rouge, LA during the aftermath of a brutal crime against a girl. It is not just any girl: it is a 15-year old neighbor girl who is the object of his obsessive infatuation. He is one of four suspects. The narrative flows smoothly with a few exceptions, and it is an engrossing mystery that reveals long-held neighborhood secrets.
