內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介:Micheal, Tommy, Mixer, and Bones aren't just from the wrong side of the tracks--they're from the wrong side of everything. No one at their high school takes them seriously, except for Mr. Haberman, their remedial English teacher. Mr. Haberman calls them "gentlemen," but everyone else ignores them--or, in Bones's case, is dead afraid of them. When one of their close-knit group goes missing, the clues all seem to point in one direction: to Mr. Haberman.
Gritty, fast-paced, and brutally real, this debut takes an unflinching look at what binds friends together--and what can tear them apart.
邁克爾、湯米、米克瑟和博納斯是來(lái)自貧困階層,他們仿佛就是一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的存在。

然而當(dāng)湯米失蹤后,一切都變了,哈伯曼先生開(kāi)始變得可惡,其余三個(gè)人陷入了驚人的困擾,因?yàn)殛P(guān)于湯米失蹤的所有線索似乎都指向哈伯曼先生。
所有的事情是不是都跟哈伯曼先生有關(guān)呢?湯米的失蹤又跟他有什么關(guān)系?剩下的三人將何去何從?
