Features: When Peter, Brad Dinning's younger brother, was nine years old, he got lost on the way home because Brad didn't take him to sports competitions. Decades later, Peter suddenly appeared, bringing Brad immense joy and a desire to make up for the guilt he had carried for years in his heart. However, Peter kidnapped Brad's wife and son, and together they disappeared again. After an investigation, the police concluded that Peter was not Brad's brother but a fraud with a criminal record. From then on, Brad began to investigate Peter's background and search for his family. In the end, he discovered that when Peter was nine, he was taken in by a childless couple, who used torture to force him to change his name to Lester and completely forget his identity. As an adult, Peter hated his brother for the suffering he endured in childhood and was consumed with a desire for revenge, seeing himself as Brad. In the final confrontation, Brad defeated Peter and rescued his wife and son. The novel's portrayal of the destruction of brotherly love is heart-wrenching and unbearable to read, leaving one in awe of the masterful writing. The plot is absolutely intricate, filled with suspense and mystery, and the action scenes are extraordinary, making it highly readable.
