About This Book

When Alex Verdi returns home from school one day to find his home surrounded by armed police, he immediately thinks of the packages of marijuana stashed in his father's desk and decides to hide. At night, when the cops have left, he goes to the house and finds the afternoon paper in the driveway- his parents have been arrested and he is being 'sought for questioning'. It's definately time to go. Taking his fathers shotgun, he hitches to Chicago. When he meetsTimmy Penn and his gang after a fight on a train, his new life as an American skinhead begins. . .
