Synopsis

From teenage gang member to $40 million star of the New England Patriots, from All-American college player to drug addict, murderer, dead by suicide in his jail cell at age twenty-seven…you think you know the Aaron Hernandez story? You don’t.For the first time, Aaron Hernandez’s Killing Fields will reveal the real, hitherto unknown motive for the killing of Odin Lloyd—the only crime for which Hernandez was ever convicted and a revelation so shocking it will shake the foundations of the NFL itself. It will also unpick a pattern of violence and brutality stretching back to his time as a teenager at the University of Florida, revealing further shooting victims, evidence of his involvement in the double murder of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in 2012.Featuring new interviews with Hernandez’s cellmates, serving police investigators, prosecutors, psychologists, attorneys—as well as key witnesses including Hernandez’s drug dealer, a male stripper he hired days before the killing of Lloyd—plus extensive testimony from relatives of Hernandez’s victims, Aaron Hernandez’s Killing Fields is the exhaustive, definitive account of the rise and fall of a man undone by his own appetite for violence, gangsterism, power, drugs, and self-destruction.This is the real Aaron Hernandez story—and perhaps just the beginning of a whole new murder investigation.

Reviews

Prior to reading this, I read All-American Murder: The Rise and Fall of Aaron Hernandez, the Superstar Whose Life Ended on Murderers' Row by Patterson, James, Abramovich, Alex, Harvkey, Mike. In comparison, Killing Fields by Dylan Howard is not quite as well structured, feels a bit more subjective,......more

An interesting read... I read this on the 3rd anniversary of Aaron Hernandez's suicide, mostly in an attempt to find out why he might have killed himself right after being acquitted of a double murder. I knew almost nothing about this case before and I found a lot of big holes in the author's theorie......more

Goodreads review by Aeryn

Love fast This book was interesting and pretty straight forward, there were some parts that were repetitive but overall I would recommend the book to anyone who is interested in a true American tragedy. He had everything going for him but threw it away for nothing, the real tragedy is that the NFL co......more

Goodreads review by Matthew

Very well researched, but poorly written. At time the overly salacious writing style jeopardized the facts and supporting arguments: -Author claims Aaron Hernandez could have been a serial killer with more than four confirmed murders. This is possible, but counters the narrative he told his boyfriend......more
