Explain briefly how the novel ends.

The shady part of London, which is a place filled with thugs and gangsters, where mugging and crimes is look upon as normal. In addition, because he lives in such a dangerous place, the end shows how Harrison ended up dead because he was curious and always implicated in other people’s business. As well as not being a part of a gang, a lone wolf would be a highway to death. He always had go through choices that could lead to a life or death situation, something that normally would not cross an average 11-year-old boy’s mind. Especially for Harrison, since he was from Ghana, leading him to have a culture shock. In addition, since London were a completely different culture, it is possible to see Harrison’s culture shock come in play when he tries to adapt himself with these people and their culture. Yet he does not realize all the dangers that come with it, because he has no knowlegde about their culture, and how everything works in that part of London. Along with, the fact that Harrison was playing detective and “investigated” every clue he had, leading him to have enough authentic evidence to find out who the actually murderer of the dead boy is. Putting himself in danger without realizing he was in danger because he is just an 11-year-old boy, this was more like a game to him and his friend Dean. He could expose the murderer if he looked even closer into what he had found out.
Burke illustrates Tom’s inner conflict with first-person narration. The guilt he feels over the inactivity he had on the night of the incident, his frustration with Kylie and the added guilt he exhibits because he feels sorry for himself all adds up to his conflicted thoughts.

Burke aptly finishes the book with the line “that was the morning Tom Brennan came back, forever,” the true development in Tom’s character and conflict is shown through the employment of first-person narration. Therefore, J.C. Burke thoroughly addressed the conflict in Tom’s mind as it was overcome in the
