In a series of well-constructed vignettes, Susan M. Lane uncovers, unearths and exposes the secretive side of human existence. Sometimes the evil that resides within the deepest recesses of the human heart wins through while at others, the more noble and wonderful side of human nature shines.In some cases, fear drives badly made decisions with fatal consequences. The author exposes human frailties and failings in this surgically precise dissection of the human psyche.
