title: Hidden Victims: The Other Side of Murder
author:  Violet M. Franck 
description: In March 1980, several days after his wife and children left him, the author's older brother, Kenneth Andre, who lived in rural Oregon, fatally shot four of his neighbors. He then returned home to wait for the police to arrest him. In Franck's deeply personal, at times moving account of the crime, she speaks more about how she and her family and the victims' families reacted than about the investigation and court process that sentenced her brother to life in prison. Andre, it emerges, was mentally unbalanced. ``From all that has happened I have gained an intimate knowledge of pain,'' Franck writes. ``I have also learned that catastrophic experiences can be a catalyst for growth.'' Although Franck's prose is stiff, she writes effectively about how people develop the strength to resume their lives after tragedy strikes.

  # ABOUT THE BOOK
  
  
  
  
  
  Chief Inspector Bish Ortley of the London Met, divorced and still grieving the
  death of his son, has been drowning his anger in Scotch. Something has to
  give, and he’s no sooner suspended from the force than a busload of British
  students is subject to a deadly bomb attack across the Channel. Bish’s
  daughter is one of those on board.
  
  
  
  
  
  Also on the bus is Violette LeBrac. Raised in Australia, Violette has a
  troubled background. Thirteen years ago her grandfather bombed a London
  supermarket, killing dozens of people. Her mother, Noor, is serving a life
  sentence in connection with the incident. But before Violette’s part in the
  French tragedy can be established she disappears.
  
  
  
  
  
  Bish, who was involved in Noor LeBrac’s arrest, is now compelled to question
  everything that happened back then. And the more he delves into the lives of
  the family he helped put away, the more he realises that truth wears many
  colours.
