Behind you : a novel / by Hernandez, Catherine,1977-author.;
"Alma, a Filipina woman, is a film editor working on Infamous, a cheesy true crime series about the twentieth century's most notorious killers. On the surface she seems to live a good life with her wife, Nira, and teenage son, Mateo. But there is so much left unsaid. It's not until the series' last episode, which features the Scarborough Stalker, that Alma remembers coming of age while the serial rapist and killer was attacking women and girls in Scarborough in the late 80s and early 90s. Two storylines unfold. In the past, young Alma watches as an entire city becomes consumed with the manhunt for an elusive, terrifying suspect, while she herself faces jeopardy from closer corners. In the present, adult Alma must come to terms with her own ideas of consent in order to stop her son's dangerous behaviour toward his girlfriend. Weaving back and forth in time, Behind You is a moving story of one girl's resilience as she enters adulthood and a chilling portrayal of the insidiousness of rape culture. It daringly turns the whodunit genre on its head by asking "Who hasn't done it?" As in, who hasn't been complicit in sexual harm?"--Provided by publisher.
