内容简介:Micheal, Tommy, Mixer, and Bones aren't just from the wrong side of the tracks--they're from the wrong side of everything. No one at their high school takes them seriously, except for Mr. Haberman, their remedial English teacher. Mr. Haberman calls them "gentlemen," but everyone else ignores them--or, in Bones's case, is dead afraid of them. When one of their close-knit group goes missing, the clues all seem to point in one direction: to Mr. Haberman.
Gritty, fast-paced, and brutally real, this debut takes an unflinching look at what binds friends together--and what can tear them apart.

除了他们的英语老师--哈伯曼先生,哈伯曼先生称他们四个为“绅士”。
然而当汤米失踪后,一切都变了,哈伯曼先生开始变得可恶,其余三个人陷入了惊人的困扰,因为关于汤米失踪的所有线索似乎都指向哈伯曼先生。
所有的事情是不是都跟哈伯曼先生有关呢?汤米的失踪又跟他有什么关系?剩下的三人将何去何从?
