Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Within the sunny affluence of one of San Diego's most coveted neighborhoods, young Billy Reed appeared to have it all, attending the finest schools and excelling in sports, while another reality waited for him at home-a family breaking apart. As his parents drowned themselves in alcohol, blunting each to the other, and even Billy himself, his childhood friends were struggling too, enduring their own family darkness-one, his best friend, the other, the girl he loved the moment he saw her.

Bird. Sky. explores a young man's reckoning of his troubled childhood, the friends he thought he knew well, and their hidden, daily torments. In his recalling, he struggles with the regret it brings, wondering how he could have missed what was at stake with the girl he loved from the start, and the friend who'd grown to savor the wreckage he brought to them all, in the veiled, privileged San Diego neighborhood.

Praise for Peter Hawes' writing:

...A great read! I'm reminded of Richard Price and Michael Connelly. An intense and intimate journey... Hawes doesn't allow us to set it down.

...one of those can't put down type of reads where the author puts you right up-front into the story and you're able to imagine the scene and the characters in detail without getting caught up in the way the author writes.

...Storytelling at its finest with the all the intricacies of the human mind and psychology of crime, intentions, redemption and, oddly enough, love and even romance.

...Would have read this in one day but had things to do. You have me hooked so need more. You left me hanging!!
