博客來 挖掘真相，究竟是為了正義，
或者，只是為私欲找一個冠冕堂皇的理由？
關於命案，有些事不大對勁。
即使現在只是在檢察官辦公室打雜跑腿的小助理，李奧仍然知道他可以看出別人看不出的蛛絲馬跡。
沒錯，這起命案看起來很單純：亞當．李度完週末回家，發現妻子瑞秋陳屍家中，唯一可能犯下此案的是他們智能不足和有暴力紀錄的兒子亞伯。所有人都把它當成意外看待，誰教凶手是個無行為能力的遲緩兒嘛；再說亞當的哥哥還是整個亞特蘭大鋒頭最健的律師外加黃金單身漢，根本得罪不起。
但是李奧知道事情絕對沒有這麼簡單，對一心想重返光榮的李奧而言，這是他鹹魚翻身的絕佳機會。他努力從少得可憐的事證中挖掘出真相，要為正義奮戰、要將真正的犯人繩之以法、要讓所有人知道他真正的實力，更要給看不起他的人一點顏色瞧瞧！他以為自己越來越接近核心，但真相背後的另一個真相，卻教他始料未及！
正義究竟是什麼？當謎底終於揭曉，李奧卻發現自己無法回答這個問題……
謎底揭曉的那一刻，你確定你真的可以看到幸福快樂的結局？
A twisting debut novel of murder and dark family secrets from a riveting new voice in crime fiction.
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?
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.
