{"product_id":"a-very-simple-crime-isbn-9780425238301","title":"A Very Simple Crime","description":"\u003cb\u003eA twisting debut novel of murder and dark family secrets from a riveting new voice in crime fiction. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cb\u003eVerdict\u003c\/b\u003e: No one in this novel is as they appear to be, and the twists and turns never let up until the very last page. This dark, chilling debut, which has been optioned for film by screenwriter Nicholas Kazan (\u003ci\u003eReversal of Fortune\u003c\/i\u003e) is a real page-turner and should especially appeal to legal thriller fans. \u003cbr\u003e -Starred Review, \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, Stacy Alesi, Palm Beach Cty.
