Like a cross between The Wonder Years and a long-lost box of slides, CENTER 9 offers a vivid return to the era of Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Raquel Welch and Sandy Koufax. Set in the suburbs of New Jersey, CENTER 9 recounts the stories of Nick Molloy, an ordinary middle-class kid trying to find sunlight in an ever-darkening time. While Newark burns and blackens the skies above his family's suburban home, Nick tries to stay focused on the things that really matter: making a little money, baseball cards, surfboards, and girls. But in a world of betrayal, lies, and gathering rage, nothing is safe or sacred. By turns funny, disturbing, and deeply moral, CENTER 9 is a book that will haunt you long after you've finished the last page.
