Paco Ezra is a substitute chemistry teacher with mild autism, a pregnant
girlfriend twenty years his senior, and a mother who killed herself while he
was away at university. When the Dutch government bans fireworks, he
sees an opportunity: use his chemistry skills to manufacture illegal
explosives with his former student Miguel.
It's just supposed to be one batch. Enough money for the baby, then out.
But Miguel's father is a fireworks kingpin. Paco's uncle is the police officer
investigating the trade. And Paco has just discovered that Miguel—his
partner, his student, his friend—might actually be his half-brother. In forty-
eight hours, everything explodes.
"Breaking Bad set in Maastricht—but written by a teenager who actually
understands what it's like to be trapped."
Huis in 't Veld wrote SHORT FUSE at fourteen, becoming the youngest
published novelist in the Netherlands. This English-language debut is a
tightly plotted thriller about family secrets, criminal enterprise, and the
chemistry of self-destruction—told in a voice that's darkly funny,
unnervingly precise, and completely original.
Fiction / Thriller / Young Adult
