About the Book

Death of a Thousand Cuts
The Hawth
orne House School for the Treatment of Autistic Children was once known for its pioneering approach and remarkable success rate. Now, fifteen years after the school closed its door for the last time, the staff and former residents have returned to celebrate its first-ever reunion. But the gala event turns into a bloody nightmare when the House's revered founder, Dr. Jay Schermerhorn, is found tortured to death in the basement.

Teacher, healer, and bestselling author, Schermerhorn enjoyed a worldwide reputation for his innovative methods and compassionate treatment of autistic children. So who hated him enough to kill him — and why?
