Medicinal marijuana can be murder.
Charming, wealthy Randle Kennedy has a secret: he's British Columbia's most prolific producer of boutique marijuana. He's developed strains of B.C. Bud to please the most sophisticated palates and produce any desired effect, from a light contemplative buzz to the most mind-warping stone. His medical varieties offer relief for conditions ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's disease. Come legalization, he'll be the first on the market with marijuana's answer to single-malt Scotch. Until that day, he runs a tight operation with terrorist-cell security.
Tate MacLane is brilliant, miserable, and broke. Since graduating from high school at age 14, he's failed at university, failed to support his family, failed at everything except making a superb caffe latte.
Randle wants a fresh face to front his transactions. Tate desperately needs a mentor and yearns for respect. And money ...
Then there are the bikers, the muscle with the cross-border connections that Randle needs to bring his product to the American market. Soon Tate finds out that it's harder to get out of the business than to get in.

Starred review from May 15, 2013
Tate MacLane is too smart for his own good, a sort of misguided prodigy. Prematurely graduated from high school, he was tossed out of university ( socialization issues ). Now 17, he's working at a coffee shop in Wallace, British Columbia, a hopeless corner of nowhere, and dreaming of finding a way to get back to Vancouver and back to school. Along comes Randle Kennedy, a marijuana grower. Until the drug is legalized, he's growing medical weed, and the Canadian cops tend to be lenient if they know you're in the medicinal side of the business. But make no mistake: Randle's a drug dealer. And young Tate is now working for him. When Tate discovers the truth about the life he's wandered into, he knows it will take more than his keen intellect to get him out safely. Tate is a fresh narrative voice, and Randle, who could have been a fairly stereotypical drug-dealing villain, has surprising depth; he's even a weird sort of father figure for young Tate. If you took a gritty crime novel and a coming-of-age story and squashed them together, you might get something very close to this fine book.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
