On the first day of summer in 1975 a suburban Marin County couple named Jim and Naomi Olive were savagely slain. Their killers were the Olives’ 16-year-old daughter and her 20-year-old lover.
This is the story of that shocking murder and the appalling events that led up to it. It is the story of the middle-class dream turned into a nightmare, of parents and children living in mutually alien and hostile worlds, and of a youth culture for which promiscuous sex and every kind of drug are no longer enough.
It is a story that cuts to the bone of American life – and strikes inescapably close to home.
