WHILE INNOCENTS SLEPT A Story of Revenge, Murder, and SIDS

Hardback. Did a talented pianist kill two of his infant children who were diagnosed as having died from SIDS, or was he instead the victim of a vengeful former wife? Death seemed to be part of Garrett Wilson's life. Both of his parents had died by the time he was in his early twenties. So friends shrugged when sadly, an infant daughter, and then a son, succumbed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Six years later, after he had divorced his wife, Missy, and married another woman, his former spouse became convinced that his children's passings were anything but natural. Was it cold-blooded murder by Garrett, or a quest for revenge by his ex-wife? Missy's own investigation, which led to Garrett Wilson's arrest and eventual trial, will keep the reader guessing until the final pages. The author takes us through each stage of this intricate and chilling story, all the way to the courtroom, where the jury's stunning verdict is given. The author conducted 19 in-person interviews with the accused both before and after his trial. He had full access to both the defence and prosecution teams. The result is an unprecedented look at a murder investigation and an edge-of-the-seat real-life medical thriller that stretches from Maryland to Texas and Florida. Illus. 250pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. With one creased page o/w Nr F. in F. dw.
