Hawley took an unpopular subject and made it interesting. What parent hasn't questioned his parenting or his child's choices. The father in this story was real and I could feel his pain. Daniel was believable and not a monster. Interesting background on a few assassins, as the father searched for proof that the killer could not have been his son. There are some odd, overly explicit sexual comments, a bit gratuitous, holding back on the positive review.
