2016 · Every father I know has had the same dream. The details change but the structure is the same: someone threatens your daughter, and you discover what you are capable of. Some of them have told me about it, quietly, as though confessing something wrong. It isn't wrong. It's the most natural instinct a father has. When my daughter was born, I had the same nightmare they had, and then I took their ideas and added my own. Ask yourself: is this a fictional story or an exit plan?
Fatherhood
This is the nightmare fathers carry with them every day, and what happens when justice fails and love does not.
This is the story of a father who learned that no matter how much you love your daughter, no matter how carefully you guard her, evil can still find a way in and leave destruction behind.
A girl lost her innocence and then her life because of three young men who believed they would get away with it. They did. A courtroom made sure of that.
Then a series of attacks began. Precise, brutal, and requiring the strength and resources of a criminal organization. Every target was connected to the case. Every punishment fit the crime it answered. The only suspect is the girl’s father, a terminally ill man who can barely cross his own living room.
The detective assigned to the investigation built the original case against the three men. He did everything right, and it changed nothing. Now he sits across from a dying man who answers every question and reveals nothing, and he cannot tell whether he is looking at a grieving father or the most dangerous person he has ever met.
