It was the perfect place to raise a family. Until baby-sitter Laurie Dann tired to kill the children...NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE. Includes Dramatic Photos. ALSO KNOWN AS: Published in hardcover as Day of Fury. SYNOPSIS: For years, the affluent village of Winnetka politely ignored Laurie Dann's disturbing behavior: the purchase of handguns, telephoned death threats, the mysterious stabbing of her former husband with an ice pick...Then on May 20, 1988, the 30-year-old baby-sitter delivered poisoned cookies to neighbors, and set fire to a family's home. Armed with three revolvers, she entered the local elementary school and started shooting. Five children were injured, one boy died. Laurie Dann killed herself that fateful day. But the men, women and children who lived through the ordeal would never forget the shock of random violence...and the courage they found within themselves. Joyce Egginton is a professional writer specializing in investigative reporting. For twenty years she was New York correspondent of The Observer of London. She is particularly interested in the impact of unusual events upon the lives of ordinary people, and in the reactions of those caught up in the drama. This attracted her to the case of Marybeth Tinning, examined in her bestselling book From Cradle to Grave, and to the tragedy within a wealthy Chicago suburb, portrayed in Too Beautiful a Day to Die.
