Description
A gripping examination of a 1988 sexual-abuse case that tore apart a family, divided a small Washington town, and became entangled in America’s growing fear of a satanic underground. When a deputy sheriff is accused by his daughters, investigators, therapists, religious counselors, and the media help shape a disturbing narrative built on buried memories, recovered recollections, and extraordinary allegations. With meticulous reporting and psychological insight, the book explores the fragile nature of memory, the power of suggestion, and the consequences of allowing fear and certainty to eclipse evidence. It is both a compelling true-crime account and a cautionary study of how communities can be swept up in moral panic.
