Summary
It's a story that began in a rickety old home on a cold June morning in 1994, where five members of a seemingly ordinary New Zealand family were gunned down.
There were two suspects. One lay dead from a single bullet to the head. The other was the only survivor: David Bain.
Since then, the country has asked: Who killed the Bain family? David, or his father Robin? And why?
Award-winning journalist Martin van Beynen has covered the Bain story closely for decades. Now, his book brings the story completely up to date: exploring the case from start to finish, picking through evidence old and new, plumbing the mysteries and motives, interviewing never-before-spoken-to witnesses, and guiding readers through the complex police investigation and court cases, seeking to finally answer the question: Who was the killer?

Black Hands – Book Review Black Hands is a gripping and exceptionally well-structured account of a family murder in New Zealand. The book is extremely detailed, yet the story remains compelling from beginning to end. The author does an excellent job of presenting the events and details in a way that keeps the reader engaged and wanting to know what happens next. It is a fascinating and disturbing story that is difficult to put down. A thoroughly gripping read from beginning to end, and a book I would highly recommend.
