Smoked: A True Story About The Kids Next Door

Just as she penetrated the secret world of black gangs in Do Or Die, critically acclaimed bestselling author Leon Bing now reveals the just-as-secret world of another group of teenagers- those from the upper class, living in the All-American town of Pasadena- in a shocking tale of murder.

Dave Atkins is the kind of guy all the girls want, and all the boys want as their best friend; Vinnie Hebrock, Dave's best buddy, is the kind of kid nobody wants to be around, except that they have to, since he hangs with Dave. Dave's tough where being tough and street-smart are everything; he's a ladies' man, dating two of Pasadena High School's top catches; he loves to party; and he gets away with everything. Dave's the kind of kid everyone wishes their son could be- until they discover that at one of those parties, he and Vinnie shot three of their girlfriends to death with a shotgun.

How did this happen to the boys and girls next door, to kids just like your own sons and duaghters? With the eye of a novelist and the instincts of a detecive, Leon Bing has tracked down the full story in SMOKED. The killers and their friends told her everything about their lives and their world, a world where the living is easy, the good times are constant, law-breaking is a kick, sex and drugs are everywhere, and the adults are nowhere.
