Near midnight on October 24, 1995, a Kansas wind fans the flames that consume a neo-Tudor mansion in the posh suburb of Prairie Village, where Dr. Debora Green lives with her three children.Two of the children, Tim, thirteen, and Kelly, six, die, along with their pet dogs. When the fire is labeled arson and police begin to focus on Deb Green, those who know the cancer specialist are shocked. What would induce a woman, a doctor committed by her Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm", to murder her own children in such a horrible way?The case builds as investigators learn that her estranged husband, Dr. Michael Farrar, had been hospitalized several times following near-fatal episodes of intestinal distress. Could a woman be so full of vengeful fury that she would, like Medea, destroy their children and watch as he grew deathly ill from the poisoned food she fed him?None of Ann Rule's previous subjects -- not Diane Downs of Small Sacrifices who shot her own children, nor Brad Cunningham of Dead by Sunset who savagely bludgeoned his wife to death -- has presented such a tangled puzzle of psychopathology. Nor have they ever inspired such an enthralling study of the criminal mind.
