A Stranger In The Family: A True Story of Murder, Madness, and Unconditional Love

By Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith. Unusual blurbs for other works notwithstanding -- yes, they're about other books/cases, but it's still quite something to see Phil Donahue and Garrison Keillor on the back of a true-crime tome -- this is a legitimately unsettling cover design for an investigation into southern serial killer Danny Starrett. This is a hardcover first printing in very good shape: a couple of bumps to the jacket at the spine, and a sticker ghost at the top right of the front cover; some page toning; a remainder mark on the bottom page edges; otherwise straight and neat.
