Slate's Summer Abroad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732248168)

Slate, an American-born teen, learns that R, the psychopath so obsessed with his beautiful Russian rockstar mama that he attempted to eliminate those around her, has escaped from custody. Because Slate's parents are touring in Europe with their band, the FBI worries that R will attempt to kidnap Slate and use him as bait to lure his mama to the U.S. A nationwide manhunt begins, and the Bureau asks Slate to lie low. Not wanting to spend the summer in hiding, and assured that R will not be able to escape from the States, Slate leaves the country with friends for a fun backpacking trip through France and Italy. But summer abroad turns deadly.
