A clear-eyed view on the most heartbreaking of crimes

The killing of a child is always an aberration, we can never forget it because it takes such diligence to try to understand, rather than simply lock away the killer and brand him or her a monster. What really incites parents to kill their children? This book portrays ten filicidal killers, people’s whose names–Andrea Yates, Diane Downs, Susan Smith, Jeffrey MacDonald–received a great deal of media attention. The author explores the reasons, from addiction to sociopathy, insanity to altruism.
