Leonard does nothing to stop or help his friend and feels mixed emotions - happiness he's dead, guilt, and that he killed him because of not helping him. Dolende tiener, een campingvakantie, een hitte die maar niet lijkt af te nemen, een lijk op het strand. This slim but memorable novel of teenage boredom and discontent is the ideal accompaniment to the hottest days of summer .
