The Shotgun Rule: A Novel

The Shotgun Rule: A Novel

Blood spilled on the asphalt of this town long years gone has left a stain, and itâ€™s spreading. Not that a thing like that matters to teenagers like George, Hector, Paul, and Andy. Itâ€™s summer 1983 in a northern California suburb, and these working-class kids have been killing time the usual ways: ducking their parents, tinkering with their bikes, and racing around town getting high and boosting their neighborsâ€™ meds. Just another typical summer break in the burbs. Till Andyâ€™s bike is stolen by the townâ€™s legendary petty hoods, the Arroyo brothers. When the boys break into the Arroyosâ€™ place in search of the bike, they stumble across the brothersâ€™ private industry: a crank lab. Being the kind of kids who rarely know better, they do what comes naturally: they take a stash of crank to sell for quick cash. But doing so they unleash hidden rivalries and crimes, and the dark and secret past of their town and their families.
