Synopsis

They were the golden boys of Huntington, Indiana: Jarrod Wall, a 17-year-old Sunday school teacher, track star, top student, and local heartthrob; and his friends Erick Esch, a high school football hero, and John Jesus Valasquez. They were well-liked, all-American teens. Until one night when Jarrod and Erick entered the house of a local car collector Eldon Anson and burglarized the bachelor’s home—and Jarrod murdered him with repeated hatchet blows to the skull….At first, the stunning crime seemed an unmotivated, inexplicable act. But in fact it was the premeditated, cold-blooded slaying of a man none of them knew. So why Anson? Wall’s private demons erupted years later in prison, revealing his overwhelming shame and perverse sense of family honor that drove him to enact revenge upon an innocent stranger—a crime that stunned the community, and forever stripped the mask of innocence off the face of evil.

Goodreads review by Susan on May 12, 2017

I know, I know ... you're wondering why a nice little blogger like me is reading a novel with a big ole hatchet on the cover, right? A little history is in order. I moved here in August 1989, to teach in a small rural community. In February of that year, a man who lived just a few miles from the scho......more
