V for Victor Paperback - 2012
by Mark Childress
In "a speeding bullet of a book" ("The New York Times Book Review"), Childress tells the story of 16-year-old Victor, living in Alabama in 1942, who finds himself playing a role in a perilous intrigue.
From the jacket flap
Alabama, 1942. The war is everywhere, but Victor--a sixteen-year old boy sent by his father to care for his dying grandmother on a lonely island in Mobile Bay--can only dream of it. Then he wakes one amazing night to a thunderous roar from the Bay, and watches as a thug burns his boat. He also discovers a decomposing corpse, witnesses a near-seduction . . . and sees the ominous shadow of an enemy submarine surfacing at night.
Suddenly Victor is playing unforeseen roles--now hostage, now pursuer--in the perilous war at home. . . .
