All American murder - James Patterson

NFL coaches, players and fans called Aaron Hernandez unstoppable.

His four-year-old daughter called him Daddy.

The law called him inmate #174594.

Aaron Hernandez was a college football All-American who became the youngest player in the NFL and later reached the Super Bowl. He was a star on the league-dominant New England Patriots, who extended his contract for a record $40 million. Hernandez's every move as a professional athlete played out in the headlines, yet he led a secret life - one that ended in a maximum-security prison. What drove him to go wrong, so fast?

Hernandez was the best athlete Connecticut's Bristol Central High had ever produced. But by the time he arrived at the University of Florida, he was already courting trouble. As his fame grew and he joined the NFL, trouble followed him. Between the summers of 20212 and 2013, Hernandez was linked to a series of violent incidents culminating in the death of Odin Lloyd, a semi-pro American football played who dated the sister of Hernandez's fiancée.
