Summary

In this book, the forensic pathologist Dr William J. Allender presents a selection of case stories from the many that he was involved with over the years. Some have led to successful prosecutions and some haven't. Like a Moth to the Flame look at cases where good girls have become involved with bad boys. Unfortunately, matters become even more intense and extremely dangerous when controlling behaviour, in some cases coupled with drugs, become involved in such relationships. Then, the naive 'moth' (the victim) ventures too close to the 'flame' (the offender) with the most disastrous results, often with serious injury (physical and/or mental) or, at its worst, death. These stories that follow in particularly, the latter ones in the book, illustrate this phenomenon perfectly. But more importantly, how we need to protect the mothers, wives and children from the terrible aberrations which can occur when these relationships fail through the controlling actions of a misguided, brutal and/or eventually, a murderous partner
