<b>A twisting debut novel of murder and dark family secrets from a riveting new voice in crime fiction. </b> <br><br> A murdered woman. A grieving husband. And their son-a mentally handicapped adult with a history of violent outbursts. A very simple case. Or is it? <br><br> Leo Hewitt, an Assistant DA once blamed for setting free a notorious child-killer, is eager to redeem himself with this intimate and grisly crime. As he digs below the surface he discovers more than he ever anticipated-including an emotionally disturbed wife, a husband who'd do anything to escape his disastrous marriage, and an accused young man with no apparent means of defense. But with each shocking new revelation, Leo is only led deeper and deeper into the darkness-an inescapable trap of blood bonds and twisted family secrets.

Gripping and entertaining. Alfred Hitchcock meets John Grisham. A fine debut thriller.
I bought this on my Kindle after reading the description on a hard copy in a bookstore. A very fine debut for Mr. Jerkins. It's a terrific legal thriller with tight, well-written prose and very intriguing and disturbing characters. There's a little Hitchcock and Grisham in the mix with a touch of "American Psycho" thrown in. STICK WITH IT - The beginning chapters are a little choppy and somewhat all over the place, but about a third of the way through, it really comes together and becomes a total page turner. I'm sold on this author and was very impressed. This was a hugely entertaining read. Highly recommended. Read more
