The Color of Murder
General Fiction谋杀的颜色
(uk)sarah J. Harris
Jasper, a 13-year-old boy, has the special ability of synesthesia. Everything is a color and shape in his eyes, even words have colors and shapes. The world in his eyes is as colorful and wonderful as a kaleidoscope, but at the same time he suffers from autism and prosopagnosia. He cannot recognize the features of human faces, and he cannot even recognize his father. A woman named Bea Rackham disappeared. She was Jasper's neighbor across the street, but Jasper claimed that he had killed her: he had stabbed her to death after a conflict with her in the Rackham's kitchen. When the police investigated and collected evidence, they found signs of cleaning at the scene. Jasper's father actually told the police that he knew nothing about Bea's disappearance. This disappearance has become suspicious because of Jasper's prosopagnosia and his father's concealment. At this moment, Bea Rackham's body was discovered by the police... Who is the real murderer? Is it Jasper, Jasper's dad, or someone else? Will Jasper's prosopagnosia be an obstacle to catching the real murderer? Why would dad lie to the police? What horrifying story is hidden behind this murder?
