All-American Murder: The Rise and Fall of Aaron Hernandez

All-American Murder: The Rise and Fall of Aaron Hernandez by James Patterson and Alex Abramovich, with Mike Harvkey, is a gripping true-crime account of one of the most shocking stories in modern sports history. Once a college All-American and the youngest player in the NFL, Aaron Hernandez rose quickly to fame as a tight end for the New England Patriots, even playing in the Super Bowl. Behind the success, however, he lived a secret and violent double life.

The book examines the events between 2012 and 2013 that led to Hernandez’s arrest and first-degree murder conviction in the death of Odin Lloyd, as well as the broader pattern of violence surrounding his life. It also explores the disturbing revelations following his death, including his posthumous diagnosis of severe CTE.
