This is a chilling story about a dentist who brutally killed his wife. This fellow had a few wives and was unpleasant to some extent to each of them. This story takes you through his marriages, the children he helped produce, the murder of his last wife and a double court battle. One for the murder and another for the custody battle of his son. Unbelievable story, but not written in gory detail. From the back cover: "In 1984, the hideously beaten body of Teresa Benigno Taylor, a young wife and mother, was found in a remote ditch in eastern Pennsylvania. Almost immediately suspicion focused on her husband, Dr. Kenneth Taylor, an engaging, successful dentist. Slowly, local investigators uncovered the dark truth of Taylor's past - a secret history of deception and violence. Taylor abandoned his first wife in her ninth month of pregnancy and tried to chloroform to death his second wife, and was suspected of savagely beating his third wife, Teresa, on their Mexican honeymoon - foreshadowing his terrible crime against her. At his headline-making trial Taylor was convicted, but for Teresa's family the anguish had just begun. Pitting Taylor's Midwestern parents against Teresa's Italian-American family in New York City, a bitter custody battle over the couple's infant son ensued, a struggle as spellbinding as the murder and trial."
