After he gets caught by police during a break-in, Lee is sent off to Toronto to live with his aunt. Working as a delivery boy in Reena’s Unique Café, Lee gets to know some of the regulars. One of his favourite customers is Cutter, a former peacekeeper once posted in the war-torn Balkans, who is now reclusive and paranoid. This book gives you insight into the thought processes of a wanna-be gang member. You find out how Lee’s attitudes towards violence have been shaped throughout his life and how they change as he learns more about Cutter’s experiences.
This story reminded me a lot of Eric Walter’s Shattered .
