"A novel that morphed into a quest for understanding of what could have motivated the murder of a family in Stettler, AB, in the late 1950s. The young man who was convicted of the murder was the last person executed in Alberta. While questions remain about his guilt, this innovative work doesn't answer those questions. Instead, it implicitly poses a lot of other questions - chief amongst which is, if the rush to 'justice' hadn't moved so quickly at the time, would this man have been executed? There are also echoes of We Need to Talk About Kevin in this one, I found, is it possible to love an unlovable child?"

"Full disclosure: Misha Angrist is a client. Having decided to participate in the PGP, the only way to write this book was as a work of creative non-fiction, in which the reasons one would choose to have one's personal genome mapped have to be weighed against the unpleasant things one might discover."
