While Innocents Slept: A Story of Revenge, Murder and SIDS Book

In 1981, the daughter of Garrett Wilson-a man prone to money-problems and extra-marital affairs-apparently succumbed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In 1987, remarried and blessed with a new child, Garrett suffered another loss when his infant son also seemed to fall victim to SIDS. The tragedy remained unexplainable and inexplicable to everyone-except for his wife, Missy... Seven years later, Missy, who was now divorced from Garrett, made shocking accusations that her philandering ex was a baby-killer. For Garrett, who had married a third time and fathered another child, his sordid history as a womanizer and a thief finally caught up with him... Did Garrett trade his children's lives for the payoffs he could expect from their $190,000 insurance policies? Or was he the victim of a scorned wife who held seething fantasies of revenge, and a scapegoat for obsessive prosecutors and a bloodthirsty public? A stunning investigation into unimaginable crimes and medical mysteries, WHILE INNOCENTS SLEPT will disturb and outrage you...AUTHORBIO: ADRIAN HAVILL is the author of The Spy Who Stayed Out in the Cold: The Secret Life of FBI Double Agent Robert Hanssen, Born Evil, and The Mother, the Son, and the Socialite: The True Story of a Mother-Son Crime.
