Struggling to stay calm, she told the operator that she and her 12 siblings—ranging in age from 2 to 29—were being abused by their parents. When the dispatcher asked for her address, the girl hesitated. “I’ve never been out,” she stammered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo their family, neighbors, and online friends, Louise and David Turpin presented a picture of domestic bliss: dressing their thirteen children in matching outfits and buying them expensive gifts. But what police discovered when they entered the Turpin family home would eclipse the most shocking child abuse cases in history. For years, David and Louise had kept their children in increasing isolation, trapping them in a sinister world of torture, fear, and near starvation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the first major account of the case, investigative journalist John Glatt delves into the disturbing details and recounts the bravery of the thirteen siblings in the face of unimaginable horror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"John Glatt takes the lid off the whole sensational story ... there are moments of this book that will astound you for their strength and grip you in total astonishment. “The Family Next Door” will have you in its clutches until its back cover is closed.\" —\u003cb\u003eTerri Schlichenmeyer, \u003ci\u003eThe Marco Eagle  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“Thoroughly researched and thoroughly disturbing.” —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Glatt (\u003ci\u003eThe Lost Girls; My Sweet Angel\u003c\/i\u003e) compellingly delves into the history…a timely account for true crime fans.” —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Glatt unflinchingly details the victims’ home circumstances...This chilling portrayal of abuse and secrecy may leave readers looking differently at their neighbors.\" —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[The] horrific account of a headline-making case of criminal abuse that shook a California community...devotees of true crime will be drawn to this narrative.\" —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for John Glatt:\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Chilling.\" \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—People \u003c\/i\u003eMagazine for \u003ci\u003eMy Sweet Angel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The murder case John Glatt recounts in lurid detail...is too bizarre for a work of fiction.\" —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e for \u003ci\u003eThe Prince of Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A gripping, read-it-all-in-one-sitting kind of book.” —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/i\u003efor\u003ci\u003e The Lost Girls\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Veteran crime scribe Glatt gives us all the atmosphere, characters and facts to make an engrossing thriller.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eNew York Post \u003c\/i\u003efor \u003ci\u003eThe Prince of Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781250202130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40706797240526,"sku":"9781250202130","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_df8ee7ba-56b0-4196-a511-60d5f0059020.jpg?v=1640578073","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781250202130","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
