A few words of feedback:.
With a life insurance company employee as the main character, this book sent chills down my spine as the case shattered my belief in the goodness of human nature head on. It is a story that makes you dizzy, wondering how a human being can become so ugly, unlike a psychopath. The last chapter of the book made me think even harder.
