In arch-conservative Gulf Coast Florida in the late 1980s, just listening to metal can get you arrested, but for the three of them the risk is well worth it, because metal is what leads them to one another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDifferent as they are, Kip, Leslie, and Kira form a family of sorts that proves far safer, and more loving, than the families they come from. Together, they make the pilgrimage from Florida's swamp country to the fabled Sunset Strip in Hollywood. But in time, the delicate equilibrium they've found begins to crumble. Leslie moves home to live with his elderly parents; Kip struggles to find his footing in the sordid world of LA music journalism; and Kira, the most troubled of the three, finds herself drawn to ever darker and more extreme strains of metal. On a trip to northern Europe for her twenty-second birthday, in the middle of a show, she simply vanishes. Two years later, the truth about her disappearance reunites Kip with Leslie, who in order to bring Kira home alive must make greater sacrifices than they could ever have imagined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his most absorbing and ambitious novel yet, John Wray dives deep into the wild, funhouse world of heavy metal and death cults in the 1980s and '90s. \u003ci\u003eGone to the Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e lays bare the intensity, tumult, and thrill of friendship in adolescence--a time when music can often feel like life or death.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Wray\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of six critically acclaimed novels, including \u003ci\u003eGodsend\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Time Accidents\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLowboy\u003c\/i\u003e.
