The Killer's Cousin

Winner of the Edgar Award for best mystery. My name, David Bernard Yaffe, will sound familiar, but you won't remember why-at least not at first. Most people, I've found, do not. I'm grateful for that. It gives me some space, however brief. However certain eventually to disintegrate. But I won't lead you on. The story I have to tell is not about me. This is about Lily. Lily, cousin of a killer. My Massachusetts cousin. Lily. I need to talk about Lily. Recently acquitted of murder, David has moved to Massachusetts to stay with his aunt and uncle and repeat his senior year of high school. After everything that's happened in his life, he shouldn't be creeped out by his eleven-year-old cousin. Right?
