Synopsis

Shorty and Alberto are best friends. They live in the poor district of Medellin, where music, money and soccer are the three things they worship. It's also an area where guns speak louder than words. Slowly the boys are drawn into a dark world of threats, kidnaps and hits - both of drugs and guns. Shorty stays on the sidelines, scared, but Alberto strides right in, confident he can stay in control. But he can't and he doesn't, and soon Shorty is searching for his missing friend - and if that means picking up a gun, he'll do it...

Media Reviews
Bold, chilling and beautifully written. * Melvin Burgess *
Stunning... * Nicholas Tucker, The Independent *
Excellent... * William Leith, The Daily Telepgraph *
Just occasionally, a novel hits you with such force that it takes a while for what you've read to sink in...Boy Kills Man is such a book. * The Birmingham Post *
A story about violence rather than a violent story, this is a fine achievement. * The Independent *
A powerful, uncompromising, poignant and thought-provoking piece of literature that ividly brings to life a world few of us would like to see. * This is Books *
