Harley Keene is the new guy in town, but he’s used to that because for the past three years he’s been in a new town and a new high school every year. He spends his summer shooting pool at a local pool hall called Shorty’s and when he’s not doing that he’s working on his three point shot because even when you play point guard you have to be able to shoot.

When school starts in the fall, he begins to hear all sorts of stories about some guy called Snake and then he winds up in Calculus, sitting directly behind the guy that everybody says is the nastiest guy in town.

And then one night when he’s picking up pizza for his family he sees a man robbing another man in the alley next to the pizza place.

That murder becomes another murder and then another and Harley is right in the middle of it, just as he’s starting the basketball season and getting ready for a pool tournament, even as he begins to learn more and more about the guy called snake
