Young Adult Suspense
A teenage sociopath is “fixed” after he gets an implant
that’s supposed to cure him in this thrilling coming of age
tale from the author of Willful Machines. A year ago, Rem Braithwaite watched his classmate Franklin
Kettle commit a horrific crime. Now, apart from the nightmares, life has gone back to normal
for Rem. Franklin was caught, convicted, and put away in
juvenile detention for what he did. The ordeal seems to be over. Until Rem’s mother selects Franklin as a test subject for an
experimental brain procedure intended to “cure” him of his
cruel and violent impulses. Suddenly Rem’s memories of that
day start coming back to the surface. His nightmares become
worse than ever. Plus he has serious doubts about whether
his mother’s procedure will even work. Can evil really just
be turned off? Then, as part of Franklin’s follow-up testing, he and Rem
are brought face to face, and Rem discovers…Franklin does
seem different. Despite everything, Rem finds himself
becoming friends with Franklin. Maybe even something more
than friends. But when another of their classmates turns up dead, Rem’s
world turns upside-down yet again. Franklin insists that
he’s innocent, that he’s cured, but Rem doesn’t know what to
believe. Is someone else responsible for this new murder, or
is Franklin fated to stay a monster forever? And can Rem
find out the answer to this question before the killer,
whoever it is, comes after him too?
