Paperback. Condizione: Good. A bold firsthand account of the circumstances surrounding the notorious Bali "Suitcase Murder" and the human cost of overlooking child-to-parent violence and abuseOn August 12, 2014, the body of 62-year-old Sheila von Wiese-Mack?the wealthy Oak Park, Illinois, widow of famed composer James L. Mack?was found stuffed inside a suitcase in the trunk of a taxi in Bali. Back in the Midwest, listening to the radio, Sgt. Rasul Freelain of the Oak Park Police Department pulled his car over to absorb the unthinkable news. Amid his shock, one coherent thought surfaced: "Heather did this."Freelain had met the Macks more than three years earlier, when Sheila first reached out to the police for help with her increasingly volatile daughter. Although Heather Mack was just a teenager, she had already displayed a disturbing pattern of escalating violence. Freelain did everything he could to intervene. But as the abuse worsened, he found himself sidelined by a justice system unprepared to deal with child-to-parent violence and abuse (CPVA).In this gripping and empathetic memoir, Freelain traces the Mack family's descent from privilege to tragedy, bringing overdue attention to CPVA as a critical yet overlooked public health crisis. He recounts the glamorous but troubled world of the Macks?the parties, the talent, the dysfunction?and his efforts to support both mother and daughter. With rare insight into the web of trauma, race, wealth, and grief that surrounded them, he shows how the system failed them both?and how, even after Sheila's death, he remained committed to seeking justice and change.When Lambs Become Wolves moves beyond sensational headlines to examine the roots of one of America's most hidden forms of domestic violence. While media coverage fixated on the exotic setting and shocking brutality of the crime, along with the growing notoriety of the teenage killer, Freelain urges readers?and institutions in law enforcement, child welfare, and mental health?to focus instead on those harmed. Sheila was more than a victim; she was a sharp, compassionate, creative woman who loved her daughter to the very end. Through meticulous research and raw personal reflection, Freelain explores how abuse cycles form, how institutions look away, and what it means to try?and fail?to protect someone in crisis.This memoir, with a foreword by Sheila's brother William Wiese, is a call to action, offering a rare blend of true crime, compassion, and advocacy. This deeply human account of a police officer caught in an impossible situation shows the price of ignoring the violence that starts at home.…
