Publisher's Summary

The New York Times no. 1 bestseller on the murder behind the Netflix documentary Killer Inside

He had it all. A $40 million NFL contract. Fame. Adoration – until he was convicted of murder, and jailed for life without parole.

A true story told by the master of crime fiction, All-American Murder is the tale of Aaron Hernandez, once the NFL's youngest player, a star for the New England Patriots and a Super Bowl veteran. His every move played out in the headlines, and yet he led a secret life – one that ended in a maximum-security prison. What drove him to go so wrong, so fast?

This explosive account of the rise and fall of a life cut short in the dark shadow of fame, culminating in Hernandez's own untimely death behind bars, is built on original, in-depth reporting. Was Hernandez a victim himself, suffering violence-inducing brain damage from the sport that meant everything to him – or was he just a heartless killer?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Heavily biased against Aaron Hernandez

I could hear in the way it was written how completely convinced the writer is of Aaron’s guilt. Didn’t like the tone. The timeline is all skewed, it jumps around and is not easy to follow. I was looking for some in-biased information about Aaron’s life and trial and instead was left feeling angry at the writer for portraying it the way he has. Reader very good.
