520 |a "In The Perfect Father, New York Times bestselling author John Glatt reveals the true story of a Colorado family whose storybook life turned into a nightmare. Heartbroken friends and neighbors watched in shock as the movie-star handsome, devoted family man they knew was arrested and charged with first degree murder. The perfect mask Chris had presented was slipping--and what lay beneath was a horrifying image of instability, infidelity, sexual ambivalence, and boiling rage. This first major account of the case reveals the truth behind the tragedy and constructs a chilling portrait of one of the most shocking family annihilator cases of the 21st century." -- Provided by publisher.
