Chatham, Ontario, 1998. Eighteen-year-old Jennifer Jenkins is brutally shot to death by multiple rifle rounds in her family home. The main suspect: her brother, Mason Jenkins, who fled the scene of the crime. After fabricating a story about what occurred, Jenkins was incarcerated. His parents, facing the loss of both their children, chose to support his claims of innocence, repressing the dark secret of their son�s true intentions. Concurrently shocking and heartbreaking, John Kastner�s finely crafted mystery slowly reveals the many layers of a family dynamic that becomes its own enigma, drawing from a decade�s worth of coverage, including police interrogation videos, home movies, and incredible interviews with Jenkins, his family, and the case�s investigators. With a skillful eye that eschews sensationalism, Kastner delves beyond the details of the murder to capture the pain of paternal devotion as Jenkins� parents struggle to hold onto the last shreds of their family. Led by the belief that one�s children are not disposable, the burden of the Jenkins� forgiveness proves as fearsome as the murder that begot it.
