Bestselling author Andrew Joseph White returns with another horrific YA thriller: a profound portrait of a struggling teen trying to convince the world—and himself—that he’s better than the serial killer who raised him.
Morgan Slaughter, a seventeen-year-old trans boy with autism, put his serial killer father in prison years ago. Despite that, everyone thinks Morgan will grow up to be just like his dad: including his volatile mother, the documentary crew following their family, and maybe himself.
Desperately, Morgan latches onto his father’s final victim—the only one who was never identified—hoping that if he unravels the mystery, he’ll finally prove he’s better than the man who hurt him. But this puts Morgan in the crosshairs of classmate Felicity Keating, who knows the truth about Morgan’s childhood—that he wasn’t just a witness to his father’s brutality, he was an accomplice. And if he doesn’t let them help with his investigation?…
畅销书作家安德鲁·约瑟夫·怀特（Andrew Joseph White）携又一部惊悚恐怖的青少年悬疑力作回归：这是一幅深刻的人物肖像，刻画了一个苦苦挣扎的少年，他竭力想要向全世界——也向他自己——证明，他绝不会成为抚养他长大的那个连环杀手。
十七岁的摩根·斯劳特（Morgan Slaughter）是一名患有自闭症的跨性别男孩。多年前，他亲手将连环杀手父亲送进了监狱。尽管如此，身边的所有人依然认定摩根长大后会变得和他父亲一模一样：这其中包括他情绪喜怒无常的母亲、跟踪拍摄他们一家的纪录片摄制组，甚至可能连他自己都这么觉得。
绝望之中，摩根紧紧抓住了父亲的最后一名受害者——这也是唯一一名身份从未被确认的受害者。他寄望于解开这个谜团，以此彻底证明自己比那个伤害过他的男人更加高尚。然而，这一举动却让他成为了同学菲丽希蒂·基廷（Felicity Keating）的眼中钉。菲丽希蒂知晓摩根童年时期的真相：他不仅仅是父亲暴行的目击者，更是一名共犯。而如果他不准对方介入自己的调查，后果又会如何？……
