When, thanks to clear-cut evidence, Mason Jenkins was convicted of murdering his sister, he insisted he was innocent. His parents believed him. Despite being shunned in their Chatham community and having lost their daughter, they continue to support their son even to this day.
Police interviews, recorded telephone calls and extensive interviews with the case’s detectives construct an astonishing picture of unconditional love. And Kastner leaks key information at just the right times to keep us riveted.
