Summary

The trial of Leopold and Loeb is one of America's most tragic events. This intriguing account of the entire story - told from the perspective of an innocent household servant - provides some shocking answers.

When a wealthy, influential family hires Elizabeth to take care of their little boy, Nathan, she is grateful and relieved. Perhaps now, she thinks, she can put behind her the horrors she experienced during WWI. But Elizabeth is sadly mistaken.

Precocious Nathan and Dickie, his manipulative little friend, are not ordinary children, and Elizabeth soon finds herself entwined in a bizarre murder case. Does she dare to testify against little Nathan? Can she stand up to Clarence Darrow and Chicago's powerful elite?
