Young Adult
am dying: it's a beautiful word. Like the long slow sigh
of a cello: dying. But the sound of it is the only
beautiful thing about it. As life slips away, Gabriel looks
back over his brief twenty years, which have been clouded
by frustration and humiliation. A small, unforgiving town
and distant, punitive parents ensure that he is never
allowed to forget the horrific mistake he made as a child.
He has only two friends - his dog, Surrender, and the
unruly wild boy, Finnigan, a shadowy doppelganger with whom
the meek Gabriel once made a boyhood pact. But when a
series of arson attacks grips the town, Gabriel realizes
how unpredictable and dangerous Finnigan is. As events
begin to spiral violently out of control, it becomes
devastatingly clear that only the most extreme measures
will rid Gabriel of Finnigan for good.
