Murderer with a heart of gold? The protagonist is a wretched coward from start to finish.

The point of the book is that he does not have a heart of gold, and must find redemption outside of himself. The book as a whole is a window into this wretched soul and the devastation he wreaks on himself by his own actions, led by his blackened worldview.
