Our next spotlight is the first in the Whitley & Keal mystery book series, A Child Is Torn by Dawn Kopman Whidden.
When Evan Madison fails to show up for work, police are
dispatched to his home. His ten-year-old son Brad is discovered
inside, sitting in front of
the television playing Super Mario — and he’s
covered in blood.
Veteran Police Officer Marty Keal is the first
on the scene. With his many years of experience, he thinks he’s seen it
all. That is, until he discovers Brad’s not alone.
Upstairs in their bedroom lies the brutally bludgeoned
bodies of his mother and his father.
When questioned, Brad
confesses to the horrific murders. But Detective Jean Whitley suspects there is much more to the case than what meets the eye.
When Brad is transferred to a
local mental health institution for children, Dr. Hope Rubin is brought
in to evaluate and treat the child. A preliminary investigation shows no
evidence of any kind of mistreatment in his past.
Is Brad telling the truth? Or is he covering for someone else?

Once upon a time, stories like the ones that Grimm Brothers wrote were just something that came from their imagination. Classic tales of stepmothers serving her new husband's children for dinner... (not for dinner, but as THE DINNER) Crazy old ladies putting lost children in an oven.
Today the craziest and most inexcusable things happen to the most vulnerable, and it's reality not fantasy. I hope that my story never finds its way into a local newspaper ... but who knows. Anything can happen and it does.
