The Good Son

"Good Son, or The Origin of Species" is an international sensation by the most in-demand South Korean author, Jeong Yu-jeong (Jong Yujjong / Jeon Yu-jeong), whose books sell in million-copy print runs in his homeland, the USA, and Europe. The distinctive metallic scent wakes Jeong-joo early in the morning. Soon, a young man discovers the body of his own mother lying in a pool of blood by the stairs of their Seoul duplex. The only event from the previous night that he can remember is his mother calling him by name.
