Hollow Spaces by Victor Suthammonat

This is a jumped up murder mystery dressed up like literature. Not quite at the Tana French or John Banville level of great literature, and not at the plot devlopment over many volumes level of Louise Penny, but very good, nonetheless. The story centers on John Lo, who was a groundbreaking Asian American partner at a prestigious New York law firm until he has an extramarital affair with a coworker who is subordinant to him, and then she ends up dead. He is the first one they suspect, and he does very little to defend himself--which seem uncharacteristic of a lawyer, especially since there is a lot of circumastantial evidence against him. Although despite all, he escapes a guilty verdict, the trial destroys his professional and personal life, shattering his marriage.Thirty years later, the story jumps to the present. John's estranged adult children—Brennan, a lawyer following in her father's footsteps, and Hunter, a disgruntled war correspondent—reunite while caring for their ailing mother. Because they were separated by their conflicting beliefs about their father's guilt, the siblings decide to reinvestigate the old murder case in hopes of uncovering the truth and finally healing their fractured family.
