About This Item
[London]: Little, Brown and Company, [1997]., 1997. First edition. First edition. Fine in dust jacket. In the quiet English town of Deerton, violence erupts when four boys invade the home of schoolmate Barry Noakes, where Barry and three of his friends are settling in for a night of videos and pizza. As the ruffians begin trashing the house, one of the boys runs to a neighbor, Daniel Stewart, for help. The melee spreads outside, and Stewart is killed. None of the eyewitnesses is willing to rat on who are the actual killers. Instead, a tacit agreement of silence has been reached in spite of rising pressure from parents and the local police to reveal what they know. The students are divided between their loyalty to their peers and the horror they have seen committed in front of their eyes.
