However, Fathers Gwynne and Szyszynski shared the same DNA because Father Szyszynski had a bone marrow transplant from Father Gwynne (being that they were half brothers), leading to the belief that the semen on Nathaniel's underpants belonged to Szyszynski. It is later revealed that Nina had killed the wrong man, and a visiting priest named Father Gwynne, not Father Glen, had molested Nathaniel.
Further, laboratory tests confirmed that Father Szyszynski's bodily fluids were found in the child's underpants. At the time of the trial (and shooting), Nina believed that Father Szyszynski had sexually abused her five-year-old son, Nathaniel, who confides via verbal accusation that Father "Glen" Szyszynski molested him. The shooter is revealed to be the York County, Maine, Assistant District Attorney, Nina Frost, and the defendant is Father Szyszynski. The story begins with a prologue, in which an unnamed female character enters a courtroom and inexplicably shoots and kills the defendant after shooting him four times as he approaches his defense attorney. Unlike many of Picoult's other novels, Perfect Match does not follow the back-and-forth flashback format. Though primarily, the novel focuses on child sexual abuse and (justifiable) murder. The novel explores the themes of family conflict, individual inner turmoil and guilt, personal and professional conflict, and vengeance. Perfect Match (2002) is the ninth novel by the American author, Jodi Picoult.
