Without Mercy: Obsession and Murder Under the Influence

From inside dust jacket: ...Without Mercy traces the dark, twisted path to a loathsome crime. But it is also the story of middle-class citizens gone wrong, of an almost-perfect murder largely unsuspected by the neighboring community, of the traumas suffered by children of alcoholic parents, of a legal system that can be severe, capricious and deadly in itself. Without Mercy is an engrossing, thoroughly researched true story that strikes to the heart of our lives and probes the depths of our communal conscience.
