A chilling description of what a "contributing forensic psychiatrist on Court TV"--Keith Ablow--believes concerning Scott Peterson's character breakdown, which led to the murder of his wife and unborn son. Not only is this book frightening, but immensely sad throughout; the case is very believably made that Scott's family contributed mightily to his psychological demise. Certainly gives one pause if you are a parent, as to how we (sometimes thoughtlessly) shape our children's psyches when they are young and impressionable--and how we can avoid the result of a "Scott" in our own families. A compelling, tragic book.
