Daniel is eagerly anticipating his upcoming birthday, eagerly dreaming of a celebration filled with his favorite delicacies: pie and chips, a grand chocolate cake, and a comic book featuring his beloved superhero. As long as he adheres to The Rule, he believes that nothing untoward will occur.
Daniel's parents are well aware that their cherished and vulnerable son will be taken away. They understand that Daniel did not intend to cause harm, but he lacks self-awareness regarding his own strength. Consequently, they dispose of the body, believing that this is the compassionate action of loving parents.
However, as law enforcement agencies and other forces close in on them, they realize that they have no choice but to carry out their initial plan. Even if it means that others must meet their demise, they are willing to do whatever it takes to safeguard Daniel. Even if it means resorting to murder.
Excellent as always, this novel is a grimy and heartbreaking exploration of the human condition. Will Carver praised it as a pacy, smart, and darkly funny crime novel, while Susi Holliday described it as a stupendous piece of literary engineering. Jenny O'Brien highly recommended it, stating that it is an intense and compelling read. Lisa Hall declared it an incredible work, echoing the sentiments of many readers who have been captivated by David Jackson's latest masterpiece.
