I really enjoyed reading this book. This is what is on the back of the book:
The crime was so appalling, the killers so unlikely, that is must have been an act of madness.
They were the golden boys of Huntington, Indiana: Jarrod Wall, a 17-year-old Sunday school teacher, track star, top student, and local hearttrob, and his friends Erick Esch, a high school football hero, and John Jesus Velasquez. They were well-liked, all-American teens. Until one night when Jarrod and Erick entered the house of local car collecter Eldon Anson and burglarized the bachelor's home-and Jarrod murdered him with repeated hatchet blows to the skull....
But even more shocking were the revelations to come.
At first, the stunning crime seemed an unmotivated, inexplicable act. But in fact it was a 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 a perverse sense of honor that drove him to enact revenge upon an innocent stranger-a crime that stunned the community, and foever stripped the mask of innocence off the face of evil.
