A bad apple.?  Jack has spent most of his life in juvenile institutions, to be released with a new name, new job, new life. At 24, he is utterly innocent of the world, yet guilty of a monstrous childhood crime.   To his new friends, he is a good guy with occasional flashes of unexpected violence. To his new girlfriend, he is strangely inexperienced and unreachable. To his case worker, he?s a victim of the system and of media-driven hysteria. And to himself, Jack is on permanent trial: can he really start from scratch, forget the past, become someone else? Is a new name enough? Can Jack ever truly connect with his new friends while hiding a monstrous secret?   This searing and heartfelt novel is a devastating indictment of society?s inability to reconcile childhood innocence with reality.\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791394107571,"sku":"9781846686627","price":660.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478191179781846686627.jpg?v=1762856993","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/boy-a","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
