For nine days, the story dominated headlines as authorities searched for the missing boys and the public followed every development.Then the story began to unravel.The investigation uncovered a devastating truth about what happened to Michael and Alexander, transforming a seemingly inexplicable kidnapping into one of America's most notorious criminal cases.Susan Smith takes readers inside the events surrounding the disappearance, the search that gripped the country, the investigation that exposed the false kidnapping story, Smith's confession, and the courtroom proceedings that followed.The book also examines the public reaction to the case, the media storm surrounding Smith, the evidence presented at trial, and the decades that followed her conviction—including her life in prison and later parole proceedings.Compelling, tragic, and deeply unsettling, this is the story of two children whose disappearance shocked America and a criminal case whose questions and consequences have endured for decades.
