Description: "Dinky is the son of an incarcerated drug king and is trying to distance himself from his father's reputation. Jose hasn't gotten over being dumped by a high-maintenance girlfriend, who has since moved on to the neighborhood's new drug dealer, Angel. Together, the two teenage boys are the secret masterminds behind The Buddha Book, an underground comic book that tells outrageous - but true - tales about their life in the South Bronx.". "Their already turbulent world begins to unravel when Jose, in a fit of rage, murders his ex. With no witnesses, it's a perfect crime, but one that Jose can't live with. Haunted by the image of the girl who wouldn't go away, he searches for a way to confess. So Dinky and Jose produce one final issue of The Buddha Book."--BOOK JACKET.
