About a Son: A Murder and A Father’s Search for Truth

The book that everyone will be talking about this year: a staggering work of honesty, empathy and humanity, wholly unlike anything else you will have read' Terri White

On the evening of Halloween in 2015, Morgan Hehir was walking with friends close to Nuneaton town centre when they were viciously attacked by a group of strangers. Morgan was stabbed in the heart and lungs and died hours later. He was twenty years old and worked in the local hospital, a graffiti artist who dreamed of moving away and building a life for himself by the sea.

From the moment he heard the news, Morgan's father Colin Hehir began to keep an extraordinary diary. It became a record not only of the immediate aftermath of his son's murder, but also a chronicle of his family's evolving grief, the trial of Morgan's killers, and his personal fight to reveal the truth behind the lies, mistakes and cover-ups that led to a young man with a history of violence being free to take Morgan's life that night.

Inspired by this diary, About a Son is a unique and deeply moving exploration of grief and the restless pursuit of justice. Part true crime, part memoir, it puts the reader in the shoes no parent wants to be in. It tells the story of a shocking murder, the emotional repercussions, and the culture and judicial lapses that enabled it to take place. It asks how grief affects and changes us, and what justice means if the truth is not heard. It asks what can be learned.
