SYNOPSIS: Savage Grace, a book that dares to go to the heart of a "Perfect American Family" and show the tragic, terrible truth at its core. The Baekelands--they partied with Dali, James Jones, the Vanderbilts, and the Astors. They summered in France and Italy, played in Mallorca, nightclubbed in New York. Brooks Baekeland was rich. Barbara was beautiful. Tony, their son, was a handsome, gentle boy. Here is a true-life portrait of a famous American family twisted by ambition, money--and a terrible kind of love. AWARDS: 1986 Edgar Award Winner (Best Fact Crime); A Literary Guild Alternate Selection. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
