GILLY MONTROSE, a high school senior from a working-class home in West Los Angeles, California, helps his father Duke-a philandering, ambitionless, single parent who cleans pools in the ritziest parts of Beverly Hills.

That evening after he and Aeura sneak away, her stepmother's corpse is found in the Jacuzzi, setting a deadly series of events in motion.

Soon they become murder suspects on the run for their lives all over Los Angeles. As the plot thickens and their plight worsens, they are aided by three high school friends: Leticia, president of the debate club and Gilly's main crush; VJ, Gilly's home boy with skills; and Fern, a RTOBH, rich teenager of Beverly Hills. There's danger at every turn and romance for Gilly in the unlikeliest of times and places.

Will Gilly and his friends uncover the truth and expose the killers? What will Gilly discover about himself and love along the way?

About the Author

BEFORE MOVING TO LOS ANGELES, Larry Mollin was a playwright and the artistic director of Homemade Theatre, a seminal performance group of the 1970s in Toronto, Canada. Transitioning to Hollywood, he wrote and produced prime time TV for over 30 years, beginning with CHiPS. He is best known for his work on Beverly Hills, 90210 for which he wrote and produced 128 hours from 1993-1998-the zenith of the show's success. Mollin returned to the theater world in 2012 with a 1960s-themed trilogy of plays produced in New York City, London, and Martha's Vineyard. Turning to long form, he created the Max Dean Adventures, a trio of novels about an aging detective with a rock-and-roll background. Mollin is also a published poet and songwriter, as well as the cohost of the internationally popular podcast Beverly Hills 90210 Show.Now, with The Pool Guy's Kid, a novel, Mollin is back in the young adult world of Beverly Hills, with a voice as fresh and witty as ever.
