Bobby Kent was a
steroid-pumped, 20-year-old bully who
liked to dominate his peers in their
comfortable, middle-class Ft. Lauderdale
beach community through psychological,
physical and sexual abuse. One summer
night in 1993, Bobby was lured to the
edge of the Florida everglades with a
promise of sex and drugs, but was never
seen alive again. The tormentor
had become the victim in a bizarre and
brutal act of vengeance carried out with
ruthless, cold-blooded efficiency by
seven of his high school acquaintances,
including his lifelong best friend, and
instigated by one overweight,
under-loved teenager who believed her
life would be perfect if Bobby Kent was
dead. This book is a riveting
story of adolescent rage and bloody
revenge, and all the more harrowing and
horrific because it's true.
