A Crime in the Neighborhood told with the deadpan humor of Nick Hornby—a wonderful novel about a boy genius whose brother may, or may not, be a murderer.


It's 1967. Jack Witcher is a twelve-year-old boy genius living in a Virginia suburb at an address the entire neighborhood avoids. Jack's father has lost his job—again—and he's starting fights with other fathers. His mother, sweet but painfully ugly, works as a cashier at the local market. Jack's older brother is a long-haired, pot-smoking hippie.
If all of that isn't bad enough, Jack's brother suddenly becomes the main suspect in the disappearance of the town's golden boy. To make matters even worse, Jack is in love with the missing boy's sister, Myra. Mr. Gladstein, the town jeweler and solitary Jew, is Jack's only friend; together, they scheme to win Myra's love. But to do that, Jack must first overcome the prejudices, both the town's and his own, about himself and his family.
