The hero of this tale is an 11-year-old boy named Joel, who has a retarded brother, an oversexed sister and a face covered by tea-cake-size splotches--"a physical expression of the ethnic and racial battle" raging in his blood. George, a U.S. writer whose British-style mysteries were becoming a bit formulaic, took a gamble with this one, and it pays off brilliantly...
