description: Billy Neary is a bright, well-adjusted twelve-year-old living with his family in a small American town. Barton Royal is a cunning, maladjusted 44-year-old loner—fat, sweaty and unpredictable, and searching for a boyhood he never had. When he sees Billy, he knows that with the aid of an ether-soaked rag he will soon have this perfect boy all to himself—to love and to cherish.For surely this one will be different? Surely this one he won't have to take into that secret black room beneath his house?
