Hello Darkness Zusammenfassung

Hello Darkness Anthony McGowan

A black comedy and high-school noir from a critically acclaimed writer

A darkly comic and original mystery novel filled with Raymond Chandleresque noir dialogue - The Telegraph Someone is on a killing spree - slaughtering the school pets with a cold-blooded savagery. The number-one suspect: Johnny Middleton. Johnny's had problems in the past, but they're behind him now. So what if he still sees the world a little differently? He's not crazy and he's not a killer. And he's going to prove it.
