Softcover / Paperback. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Paperback. The body in the attic was the first of many horrors. You couldn't find a more unlikely place for such a macabre discovery. For 5 months the putrid body of Robert Caris lay undisturbed in the attic of the home in elegant Southampton, Long Island, until stunned police brought it out. The killer: the victim's wife, Arlene. Her defence: years of abuse at the hands of her husband - or so she claimed. Her conviction for the crime only enhanced her martyred status in the public eye for striking a desperate but resounding blow for battered women everywhere. But was the real heroine of this shocking saga the pink-cheeked, white-haired Arlene Caris or her daughter Belynda? For it was Belynda who came forward with staggering accusations against her mother, painting a portrait of an abusive, greedy woman whose outward normalcy masked deadly, tormenting behaviour toward the men she ensnared - and whose money she coveted - and even toward her children. This harrowing story probes the dark heart of a murderer, unforgettably revealing a violently dysfuctional family. Illus with 8pp. of photos. 333pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned pp. o/w nr. F. with no creasing to covers. Seller Inventory # 14508
