Paperback. Mary Jean Pearle and John Battaglia's marriage seemed picture perfect from the outside. With their 2 young daughters, Faith and Liberty, they made their home in a wealthy Dallas suburb. John was handsome, charming, and successful - but behind his mask of normality lay a vicious, violent abuser, who'd brutally beaten his first wife - and who made Mary Jean the new target of his irrational rages. After 9 hellish years, she divorced Battaglia. On Christmas Day, 1999, during a court-ordered family visit, he attacked her in front of their daughters. For the next 2yrs, he threatened, harassed and stalked her. Mary Jean feared for her life, but not for the lives of the children, with whom Battaglia was never anything less than caring, loving and gentle. But in spring, 2001, when Faith and Liberty were visiting their father, Mary Jean received a message to call her daughters. Helpless, horrified, she heard her older daughter's pleading cries. Then came the sound of gunshots - followed by silence. What evil impulses had driven a seemingly devoted father to commit the ultimate act of violence and betrayal...and how would justice be served? Illus. with 16pp. of photos. 317pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V.v. lightly browned edges o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
