An unlikely hero and high school hustler, O Germano, along with his accidental sidekick, gay valedictorian, Julian West, find themselves sucked into this intense mystery.

TOXIC HIGH, the first novel by award-winning screenwriter Don Ammon, plumbs the dark dealings of high school classmates as they explore sexual identity, relationship jealousies, plot revenge and murder. Author Lori Jakiela said of Ammon's work, "Never since Brett Easton Ellis (American Psycho, Less Than Zero) and Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting) has a writer gazed so relentlessly at the worst of human nature and channeled it in prose as dazzling as a straight razor."
