## Description

Penzler Pick, October 2000: This disturbing first novel, set in Nevada, is the story of Neil  Garvin, a high school football star who, in his own words, tells us of the night  at Fred Billings's house when he drank more beer than he can remember.   Drinking beer is what high school jocks do, and for Neil, it also drives away  the anger he feels at his father, at his life, and at the fact that his mother  left them when Neil was a baby. Neil blames his distant and abusive father for  driving her away. A charming man to those who don't know him, Neil's father  spends his leisure time drinking Midori and listening to Neil Diamond, after  whom he has named his son. (The scene where Neil's father takes him to Las Vegas  for a Neil Diamond concert is a memorable one in a book filled with great  scenes.)   Driving home from Fred's house in his father's car, Neil hits and kills a boy  who is walking home from the party. Drunk and disoriented, Neil stuffs the body  in the trunk, drives home, and passes out. When the body disappears from the  trunk, Neil knows his father has found the body and hidden it, although not a  word about this passes between them. Since Neil's father is the sheriff of the  town, he is called in by the dead boy's family to find their missing son.  The investigation is seen through Neil's eyes as he squirms through his father's  seeming inability to find any clues about the missing boy and his own growing  closeness to the boy's family, especially his sister, who see Neil and his  father as friends and allies. He also watches as his father battles with the FBI  (the dead boy's uncle is an agent) over jurisdiction of the case.   While it is difficult to feel sorry for Neil as the net slowly closes around  him, and his fear of being caught turns to self-loathing, the reader knows  exactly what happened and feels like a participant. It is an uncomfortable  feeling for the reader and a difficult mood for the author to maintain, but Alan  Watt manages to pull it off without a hitch. --Otto Penzler
