Reviews
This astounding autobiography is a true-crime tale with a difference: Stowers, honored by the Mystery Writers of America for Careless Whispers and nominated for a Pulitzer for Innocence Lost, here writes of his older son, Anson, whose youth was devoted to drugs and crime and who is now serving time for murdering his ex-wife in a fit of rage in Dallas. What is astounding is the author's myopia: an effective communicator with his readers, he could barely get through to those closest to him. His first two marriages ended in divorce; his elder son was estranged early and, on the one occasion when the father was asked to avow his faith in Anson, he did so only with reservations. In his introduction, Kellerman terms parenthood "punishment for the crime of loving," and Stowers has suffered punishment aplenty. Photos.

It sounds like some far-fetched mystery novel, but this story is true. Stowers, whose Careless Whispers won an Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime Book of 1986, was left reeling when his son was accused of murder. Here he offers an account of his daughter-in-law's murder and his own role in a family situation that led to tragedy.
