A novel I couldn't put down, written by a former district attorney, about a murder.
A young boy on his way to school is stabbed three times and he dies. He is found just off a path in a park close to the school. Who did this? There isn't much evidence other than a distinct bloody fingerprint. The crime occurs in an upper middle-class suburb with concerned, decent, actively involved parents. These are not throwaway kids so the ripples from the murder are considerable.
It's as good as a John Grisham novel and certainly is provocative as it is more than just a legal thriller or a murder mystery. It is also a novel of how we raise our kids in the Internet age, a novel that addresses issues of nature versus nurture, a novel that develops a riveting story and denouement.
