Andersson and Stefani

D'Andre Martin is a 13 year old black boy who witnesses a horrific crime, the rape and murder of a 13 year old white girl named Autumn. He believes he would be a suspect if he were to report it, so he keeps it secret. This is a story of the heavy consequences that decision brings, not only for D'Andre, but for his and Autumn's families.

This story takes place over 30 years. It's fast paced, and the characters are well developed and sympathetic. We watch as they unravel under the burden of knowing for D'Andre, and not knowing for the rest of those close to both victims: D'Andre and Autumn.

Autumn's father, a police officer, is an early suspect, that absent a better one, is never really cleared. A chance meeting 30 years later resurrects this case. North Carolina State Police Investigators, Andersson and Stefani, work through the twists, turns, and heart breaking dead ends to bring peace to those left behind.
