Vernon God Little. Stan posiadania: piętnaście lat w zapadłej dziurze w Teksasie, jedna toksyczna matka, jedna dziewczyna, z którą zamienił paręnaście słów i jeden przyjaciel. Dziwny, ale fajny. I ten najlepszy przyjaciel pewnego dnia zastrzelił w szkole szesnaście osób, a potem siebie. Vernona tam nie było, ale nie było go też na lekcji, więc dla wybitnie inteligentnych stróżów prawa oczywistym się stało, że właśnie znaleźli wspólnika zbrodni. Szalony dzieciak, który popełnił już samobójstwo, nie był dla nich rozwiązaniem sprawy.

Przynajmniej na chwilę...
