Joe Schreiber is the author of adult novels DEATH TROOPERS, CHASING THE DEAD and EAT THE DARK. This is his first young adult novel.
"A high-octane, high-caliber joyride centered on one very loud night in New York City" from the New York Times-bestselling author (Michael Northrop, author of Rotten).
Ferris Bueller meets La Femme Nikita in this funny, action-packed young adult novel.
It's prom night-and Perry just wants to stick to his own plan and finally play a much-anticipated gig with his band in the Big Apple. But when his mother makes him take Gobija Zaksauskas-their quiet, geeky Lithuanian exchange student-to the prom, he never expects that his ordinary high school guy life will soon turn on its head. Perry finds that Gobi is on a mission, and Perry has no other choice but to go along for a reckless ride through Manhattan's concrete grid with a trained assassin in Dad's red Jag.
Infused with capers, car chases, heists, hits, henchmen, and even a bear fight, this story mixes romance, comedy, and tragedy in a true teen coming-of-age adventure-and it's not over until its "au revoir."
This ebook includes a sample chapter of Perry's Killer Playlist.
