Through one of the most extensive missing person's investigations in history, to the shocking discovery of her husband's double life, millions became obsessed with the fate of a young pregnant woman and the man once believed to be the "perfect" husband. Their story both fascinated and repelled us because it exposed a frightening truth: we are most at danger from those we love. To understand this unspeakable crime, Strong travels to the darkest regions of the human heart to learn about those among us who live their lives behind a brilliant disguise. Perfecting to an art a template of legal and media manipulation first established in the O.J. Simpson case, Peterson very nearly got away with murder. But thanks to an unlikely cast of heroes, the Peterson case may have single-handedly reestablished public trust in the jury system.
