Sixteen-year-old Quentin Kanner is disaffected and disconnected; life has it out for him, so he has it out for everybody, not least his little sister Calixta. But when Calixta disappears and the authorities are unconcerned, he uncovers a web of lies, intrigue, and madness taking him across the North American continent, and the life of the perfect beauty queen turns out to be not what it seems.All Rights Reserved
