(2) YA A boy watches his mother being shot to death after they attempt to escape from a "patriot" group that had just discovered his father was an infiltrator from the FBI (a fact unknown to the boy). The core escape story and a persistent theme of identity keep the book from becoming a tract. A Cormier-like twist near the end probably wasn't entirely necessary but does give an extra edge of paranoia to the charged events.
