Publisher's Synopsis
This is an account of an outwardly respectable and loving family which was shattered by betrayal and murder. It involves the bizarre and tangled case of Bonnie von Stein, a North Carolina housewife and mother, whose wealthy husband was savagely killed in bed beside her, leaving the police with what seemed an unsolvable case.;Mrs von Stein believed her husband was the victim of an intruder. What she could not accept was the growing opinion of investigators that the murderer was her son, Chris, aided and abetted by his sister. Having been drawn into the centre of the tragedy, the author of this book came to realize that Mrs von Stein's worst fears about the case, those she refused even to consider, could be only too true; that her own son may be guilty.
