Description
Dance With the Devil: A Memoir of Murder and Loss This memoir chronicles a devastating series of events that unfolded in 2001, when the body of a young doctor was discovered in Pennsylvania. The case led to a lengthy and tragic battle for custody of the doctor's son, with the mother, Shirley Turner, at the centre of the controversy. Turner's actions were marked by obsessive and unstable behaviour, and her eventual death by suicide and drowning of her young son, Zachary, in 2003, left a family shattered. The author's account is a raw and honest exploration of the failures of the system that failed to prevent the doctor's murder, and the devastating consequences that followed. With unflinching candour, the author recounts the events leading up to the tragedy, and the long and difficult process of seeking justice and custody for the young boy. A powerful and thought-provoking memoir, Dance With the Devil is a eulogy for a lost life, and a castigation of a broken system.
