Synopsis

When a school tragedy happens, you probably lay the blame on society, the Internet, TV or violent films. Not many of you think it could be the parents' or the teachers' fault, do you? But then, is it? We all have our say, spout off opinions according to our view of the world. In this novel, too, they all have their say, but who's right?

At only sixteen Clem’s world is turned upside down. His Willy-Loman-like father, a travelling salesman and a loser, is transferred from Eastbourne to Glasgow and along with him go Clem and his meek accommodating mother. But Glasgow is rough and Clem’s posh English accent is not well-accepted in the sink school he attends. And he’s a brilliant scholar. He soon becomes the target for McEvoy’s group of thugs for whom slashing faces is the most important ambition in their depraved lives.
