Joshua Swift is small and fast and almost never runs from a fight. Son to a legless man, grandson to a billionaire, best friends with the high school hunk and a beautiful fat girl, Zipporah Bennett never without a rolling suitcase full of food. Josh is accused of murdering Kerri Donner, the girl with the best breasts in the freshman class. And just to keep things interesting, he owes a debt to a murdered Indian woman and finds himself wearing a dead kid's clothes. Then there's the lurking FBI, the psychopath policeman and the townies who just want to kill him for sport. Not to mention the sick-making fact that his dad is shacking up with the principal. Such is life in Merryweather, Montana.
