When he's discovered, the school counselor and a special person from his past convince Michael to stop running and to start fighting, or he just may get his death wish. A novel with a unique structure- First half is a mystery. Second half is a thriller- Not a YA story- Set in the 1960s & 70s gives a touch of nostalgia- References to real cultural and historical events adds realism???
