About this title

From Library Journal

Sure to be compared to Evan Hunter's novel The Blackboard Jungle ( LJ 9/1/54), this look at contemporary America rings true. The death of two students in a junior high school--Ophelia by asphyxiation, Timothy by a bullet from a cop's gun--sets off waves of corruption throughout the school system, the police department, and city hall. Can dedicated teacher Steven Hillyer ferret out the truth behind this incident that snuffed the life of one of his most promising, if disturbed, students? Using some of Timothy's poetry and letters written to Ophelia, Steven fights for his life and the truth. Rosenberg has three books that were made into films, including Contract on Cherry Street ( LJ 5/1/75). The rights for this novel have been sold to Paramount, but don't wait for the film. For all popular fiction collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 10/15/90.
