THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL--THE MOST HORRIFYING TRUE STORY OF FAMILY MURDER SINCE SMALL SACRIFICES. Darcy O'Brien, Author of Two of a Kind: The Hillside Stranglers. WITH 8 PAGES OF DRAMATIC PHOTOS. BOOK NUMBER: 451-JE167. SYNOPSIS: To his patients and friends in Little Egypt, Illinois, Dr. John Dale Cavaness was a beloved and admired medical practitioner--a selfless humanitarian who often treated patients without charge. Very few people outside of the family knew about the other side of the "good" doctor: a sadistic Jekyll-Hyde personality who beat his wife, terrorized his sons, and carried on a tumultuous private life of boozing, brawling, womanizing, and disastrous financial manipulations, culminating in his 1984 arrest for an unimaginable crime--the murder of his 22-year-old son Sean. Police investigators, and a brilliant, relentless prosecutor, also suspect Cavaness in the unsolved shooting death of his heavily insured firstborn seven years earlier. This utterly harrowing true crime story probes the bizarre psychological dynamics behind these ghastly crimes--and the man who committed them...taking us deep into a hidden Gothic part of America where violence and murder form a long and bloody tradition...Darcy O'Brien's A Way of Life, Like Any Other won the Ernest Hemingway Award as the Best First Novel of 1978. The New Yorker called The Silver Spooner, his second novel, "a triumphant American tragedy" and termed O'Brien "a writer of distinction--real distinction." His nonfiction Two of a Kind: The Hillside Stranglers (1985) was both critically hailed and a best-selling, popular success. O'Brien has also written articles and reviews for many publications, including The New York Times Magazine and New York. A Los Angeles native, O'Brien is a Princeton graduate and since 1978 has been Graduate Professor of English at the University of Tulsa. AWARDS: A Literary Guild Alternate Selection.
