The human heart is unknowable" is the theme of Fatal Friendship. Based on a true story, the novel begins when Frank Bradley learns that his best friend, Rich Wahnfried, has brutally murdered his girlfriend in his Florida condo and fled to Europe. Bearing all the markings of social and economic privilege, intellectually gifted, imaginative, outrageously funny, oftenboisterous and dramatic - the commission of such a primitively violent sort of crime by Rich was unthinkable. The ghastly news that his good friend was a closeted monster had detonated Frank's confidence that he knew anyone, starting with himself. After learning of the murder, more unsavory details of Rich's life emerge and increase Frank's perplexity and the horror. The story unfolds and leads Frank, a law professor and political philosopher, to its culmination in a dramatic murder trial. This philosophical novel follows Frank's self-torturous path to understanding the darkness in the human condition.
