Further Details into the Criminal Life of a Former Football Star
From teenage gang member to $40 million star of the New England Patriots, from All-American college player to drug addict, murderer, dead by suicide in his jail cell at age twenty-seven . . . you think you know the Aaron Hernandez story? You donât.
For the first time, Aaron Hernandezâs Killing Fields will reveal the real, hitherto unknown motive for the killing of Odin Lloydâthe only crime for which Hernandez was ever convicted and a revelation so shocking it will shake the foundations of the NFL itself. It will also unpick a pattern of violence and brutality stretching back to his time as a teenager at the University of Florida, revealing further shooting victims, evidence of his involvement in the double murder of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado in 2012, and, in a world exclusive, a compelling case for a fourth murder victim, shot just eleven days before the slaying of Odin Lloyd.
Featuring new interviews with serving police investigators, prosecutors, psychologists, attorneysâas well as key witnesses including Hernandezâs drug dealer, a male stripper he hired days before the killing of Lloydâplus extensive testimony from relatives of Hernandezâs victims, Killing Fields is the exhaustive, definitive account of the rise and fall of a man undone by his own appetite for violence, gangsterism, power, drugs, and self-destruction.
This is the real Aaron Hernandez storyâand perhaps just the beginning of a whole new murder investigation.
