Overview

In a chilling memoir of attempted homicide that spirals into self annihilation, author Thomas A. Green calls out the secret family skeleton. More Monster than man, more Maddog than mongrel, a violent sexual predator has hidden for decades in the family's shadow, his hollow skull undetected except for a frozen smile on his hideous face. The crime scene slowly metamorpheses into a cross country odyssey of homelessness, suicidal ideation, and psychiatric lock-up for the author. Green spends a decade healing through an academic immersion into the subculture of sexually violent predators. As a graduate student in Forensic Psychology, Green discovers the Victorian-Renaissance evidence of Westley Allan Dodd and learns that the Tort of Outrage may be the most powerful tool for early intervention in sex offender cases. In the Kindle version, Dodd's analysis begins immediately after the Prologue, as an adjunct to Chapter 1.
