Edgar-winning author Howard details one of the strangest, most brutal crimes committed in our time: the killing of businessman Frank Columbo, his wife, and son--by their daughter Patty. Howard traces Patty's life through the streets of suburban Chicago and offers an explanation of why she became a part of such a bizarre and terrible crime.

Now as Patricia Ann Columbo has grown into a woman in a maximum security prison, she has finally revealed to this author what really happened the dark and fateful night tghat a chilling cold blooded murder for a twisted love gone wrong was committed. There a 8 pages of pictures. When a father threatens to kill Patty and her love, they strike first. Strange what you think is love and what some will do for it.

Not a bad read but a little too close to home in a chilling reality slap to the face kind of way for me.
