"A tough new voice rises in the ranks of true-crime writers." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Gregg Olsen's work is absolutely top notch, masterful. With [Cruel Deception], Gregg takes his rightful place among crime masters." -- Dennis McDougal, author of In the Best of Families and Whatever Mother Says "Compelling...suspenseful...Gregg Olsen is masterful in creating this incredible story. As he brings his characters to life, he evokes emotions in us, as we hope against hope that the inevitable crime will not happen." -- Rod Clovin, author of Evil Harvest "A must read for all true-crime junkies...It picks up speed with each page and rapidly moves from absorbing to riveting, sweeping the reader along...Combines diligent, exhaustive research with a crisp, captivating style." -- Steven Nickel, author of Torso "A riveting, often horrifying, and important book...a much needed addition to the canon of serious criminal justice literature." -- Joseph Bosco, author of Blood Will Tell and A Problem of Evidence: How the Prosecution Freed O.J.

An in-depth and sensitive analysis of this complex disorder." -- Gary King, author of Web of Deceit and Blind Rage "Gregg Olsen has a rare and unique talent for getting to the bottom of weird, complex cases and writing about them in an understated style that makes the readers eyeballs bulge. [Cruel Deception] is his best." -- Jack Olsen, author of Doc "A remarkable and amazing book...a piece of art in suspense and entertainment for the reader of crime books." -- Thomas V.

Synopsis
From Gregg Olsen, bestselling author of If You Tell , comes the heartbreaking true story of a mother's darkest secrets coming to light in Cruel Deception . In and out of hospitals since birth, angelic nine-month-old Morgan Reid finally succumbed to what appeared to be Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Morgan's Texas-born mother Tanya, a nurse and devoted wife, pulled up stakes with her grieving husband Jim, and moved on. It was the best way to put the past behind them. Until their son Michael, a boy who by all accounts was terrified of his mother, began showing signs of the same affliction that stole the life of his baby sister... First, the suspicion: Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. Then, Tanya was charged and convicted with felony child abuse of her son. She was later tried and ultimately convicted for first degree murder of Morgan. It would become a landmark trial that unfolded in a series of reversals and bizarre twists of fate as it gradually revealed another side of Tanya Reid--of her own troubling childhood and the dark secrets that drove a woman to the cruelest deception of all.
