Learn moreRobert Peernock appeared to have the ideal life; working as a pyrotechnics engineer and computer expert and coming home to his wife and daughter, he projected the American dream. Even when he and his wife separated, it seemed amicable, just a small bump for the well-to-do family. But there was madness in his house: in private, Peernock was violent, subtly manipulative, and bordering on psychotic. But the horrifying details of his home life would only come to light after Peernock finally lost all control.
Peernock had come home, brutally beaten both his wife and daughter, force-fed them alcohol, and deliberately sent them to their deaths behind the wheel, staging it to look like a drunk driving accident. He didn't foresee that his daughter would survive, and even with years of abuse, her attempted murder, and horrendous injuries, he never anticipated that she would speak so powerfully against him. Here New York Times bestselling author Anthony Flacco chronicles the sensational trial and all the terror that preceded it, looking deep into the mind of a deranged killer whose American dream was a waking nightmare for those trapped within it.
Anthony Flacco is the author or coauthor of several works of fiction and nonfiction, including The Hidden Man, The Road Out of Hell, and the New York Times bestseller Impossible Odds. The holder of an MFA in screenwriting from the American Film Institute, he was selected for a prestigious Walt Disney Studios screenwriting fellowship, where he spent a year writing for the Touchstone Pictures division. He adapted his first nonfiction book, A Checklist for Murder, as a two-hour television movie script and sold it to NBC Studios for a movie of the week. An experienced public speaker, Anthony frequently gives seminars on crime writing and is a featured speaker on writing for writers' conferences and clubs. He serves as an editorial consultant to Martin Literary Management in Seattle, Washington.
