Publisher's Note
It was a night David Smith would never forget...the night he began living every father's most agonizing nightmare. On that chilly fall evening in 1994, he learned that his two young sons had been kidnapped. The person who broke the news was his estranged wife Susan Smith - the children's mother. In the harrowing days and nights that followed, an intensive manhunt began that would focus the eyes of America on the Smith family. But through it all, David Smith had only one thought: to get his boys back. Nine days later, a tearful Susan Smith confessed that the kidnapping had been a hoax, a cruel lie. The truth would be even crueler: three-year-old Michael and fourteen-month-old Alex Smith were dead, slain by their mother's own hand. David Smith speaks out about his life with Susan, the beloved children he has lost but will always love, and the slow, painful process of trying to put his life back together. He talks honestly and openly about his less-than-perfect marriage - a troubled relationship that led to affairs on both their parts; Susan's destructive obsession with the lover who'd rejected her; the events leading up to that fateful night last October; and, finally, the need to come to terms with his own grief and loss.

Industry reviews
In early 1993 in a suburb of Liverpool, England, two truants from school Jon Venables and Bobby Thompson lured three-year-old James Bulger from his mother in a shopping mall and, after meandering around the town, killed him in a brutal fashion and left his body on railroad tracks, where a train cut it in half. Smith, who writes for the Sunday Times of London, provides an objective look at the murderers, the authorities who handled the case, the trial and the 15-year sentences handed down by the home secretary, which are currently being appealed. He suggests that the killers, both from dysfunctional families, did not set out to find a murder victim, but that small acts of sadism escalated until death resulted. The police, unrelenting yet solicitous, are shown to have behaved admirably as their questioning solved the crime. An excellent true-crime study that tries to explain why. Photos not seen by PW.
