  When a routine police visit to a surburban Chicago home revealed the mutilated bodies of a businessman, his wife and son, terror shook the community, alternating with relief that pretty eighteen-year-old Patty, the daughter had not been at home. But Patty wasn't what she seemed. At the tender, virginal age of fifteen she had been seduced by Frank DeLuca, a successful pharmacist, twice-married and twice her age. Introduced to drugs, alcohol and increasingly kinky sex, Patty was caught in a horrifying secret life. After the murders Patty and her lover were charged, convicted and sentenced to a hundred years in prison. Following 19 months of detailed research crime-writer Clark Howard persuaded Patty to be interviewed. This is Patty's story of how she became part of a terrible murder born of love.
