About This Book

The author presents a first-person narrative written while imprisoned that aims to refute widespread allegations of multiple murders. He recounts his upbringing and formative experiences, describes his relationships and business dealings with the Pitezel family, and addresses the disappearances and deaths for which he is accused. The text interleaves autobiographical episodes with legal and personal justification, offers a prison diary, and seeks to persuade readers that public reports have misrepresented events and prejudiced his right to a fair trial.
