Toby Harlow didn’t get to be the director of events for the second-largest theme park complex on the planet without dogged determination and attention to detail. And okay, sometimes he goes a little too far. Like when he asked Chef Bruce Chandler to undergo a physical to prove he was fit and able enough to cater a celebrity wedding. He can’t really blame Chef for not wanting to take his calls anymore. But this wedding is a Big Deal, and Toby will do whatever it takes to get Chef on his side. Even if it means cornering him in his own kitchen.
On a chilly, gray autumn afternoon in 1984, a patrolman was dispatched to an inner-city tenement in Auburn, Maine to investigate the report of a possible fire. What he found inside the building's smoke-filled, second-story apartment was not a fire but something far more horrifying -- the charred body of a 4-year-old girl, Angela Palmer, who had been stuffed into the oven of a kitchen stove and cooked to death. The discovery traumatized the community and shocked the country. The ensuing murder prosecution of the youngster's mother, Cynthia Palmer, and her boyfriend, John Lane, cast a searching light into the shadows of a secret world in which children and women suffer violence and sexual predation at the hands of those who are supposed to love and protect them.
