Description
Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn recount their harrowing experience of a kidnapping that went horribly wrong. In March 2015, they were bound and drugged, then abducted by armed men. When Aaron called the police, he was met with suspicion and disbelief, and the police accused him of Denise's murder. The case took a dark turn when Denise was released, and the police turned their attention to her, dubbing her the "real-life 'Gone Girl'" who had faked her own kidnapping. The couple's ordeal highlights the often-blurred lines between victim and suspect, and the ways in which the justice system can fail those who have been victimized. With no one to rely on except each other, Aaron and Denise took on the system, fighting for justice and seeking to clear their names. Their story is a powerful exploration of the complexities of the justice system and the devastating consequences of victim-blaming. This book is a harrowing and thought-provoking account of a true crime case that sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences of those who have been victimized by sexual violence and abuse of power.
