Lowboy by John Wray

[Derek Haas]

I really enjoyed this novel by John Wray. It is told from three points of view, an escaped sixteen-year-old mental patient, the boy's mother, and the detective trying to find him as he hides out in the subway system of New York. This is more of a literary work than your typical suspense fiction... Wray paints an intriguing portrait of some troubled minds.
