Seduced by Madness (eBook, ePUB)

The True Story of the Susan Polk Murder Case

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A true crime account and analysis of a California housewife's murder of her husband and the revealing trial that followed. In October 2002, Susan Polk, the soft-spoken mother of three teenage boys, was arrested for stabbing her husband and former therapist, Dr. Felix Polk, to death. Three years later she was tried for first degree murder, choosing to act as her own attorney in a trial that rapidly devolved into one of the most outrageous media circuses in modern history. To a crowded courtroom, Susan Polk presented her defense-a bizarre story of unethical therapies, abuse, repressed memories, and satanic rituals-and, in doing so, exposed her madness. Carol Pogash was there. Seduced by Madnessis the remarkably compelling, profoundly disturbing true story of the severe dysfunction of an affluent American family, as told by the leading journalist who worked the case. It is a spellbinding re-creation of a troubled life, a marriage, a murder, and a terrifying, inexorable descent into madness. Praise for Seduced by Madness "While the background is fascinating, the coverage of the trial is mesmerizing. Pogash takes the characters ... and creates an edge-of-your-seat excitement. For fans of true crime, psychology, courtroom drama and truth-is-stranger-than fiction, this is a triumph." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
