They searched for, found, and photographedthe lifeless bodies of their client's victims and then kept it secret. They did so in the face of unendurable pressure from the authorities and the victims' families, who suspected the lawyers knew more than they were saying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When the American public eventually learned of the lawyers' actions, they were horrified, outraged, and vengeful. People could not fathom how two attorneys--fathers of teenage girls themselves--and supposed officers of the law, could conduct themselves in a manner seemingly beyond any concept of humanity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Today, this landmark legal case is studied and analyzed in law schools worldwide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These events have been indelibly marked in Tracy's mind since he was eight years old; in fact, he was present at the scene of New York state's largest manhunt after the killer broke into Tracy's father's hunting camp in the Adirondack Mountains. In \u003ci\u003eSworn to Silence\u003c\/i\u003e, Tracy weaves together a true crime narrative that should rank with some of the most compelling American crime stories of modern times.
