He spent his childhood and adolescence flying between his mothers home in California and his fathers in New York. Dr Allen always told himself that his sons early years were a broadly positive experience. The boy didnt have to grow up in a home driven by parental arguments; the frequent flying from coast to was a maturing broadening exercise; and after all Daniel still had two parents who loved him
even if they no longer loved each other. But now as the doctor delves into his sons past and events surrounding the senators slaying he is not so sure. He cannot accept that Daniel has what it takes to be a cold-blooded killer but how well does he really know his boy? The Good Father is a hugely emotional almost unbearably tense journey into the meaning of fatherhood and the power of truth. It also takes a bleak unsparing look at the seething mass of contradictions at the heart of American gun culture and how conspiracy theories are spawned and nurtured. The parts of the book that examine the murder of president Kennedys brother Robert are both absorbing and surprising. But ultimately this is a story of love and trust and acceptance wrapped beautifully inside an old-fashioned thriller. It
will keep you reading long into the night and leave you haunted by its central characters long after you have turned the last page. A mini-masterpiece.
