In the Dock

***FOR EVALONLY!!!***** Reading this book, we are shocked to realize how a family can be broken when they are forgotten, ignored or judged by those institutions whose mission is to offer them support. We discover the true story of a tragedy that not only brought its victim into despair, solitude and eventually death, but also imprisoned his close ones into silence. Fortunately, the situation of criminal act victims and their families has changed but only because they have let their voice be heard, as Pierre has done on behalf of his father and his family. But at what cost? The answer is in his book: At the cost of his fathers inner life. The day of the abduction marked the beginning of Charles journey into solitude which continued to deepen until his death. Being abducted and having his reputation and honor destroyed resulted into isolation, as if he had been dehumanized After 40 years, I hope that this book will help towards re-establishing the reputation of the victim and his family, and that shedding light at the end of this very long tunnel of suffering will be their reward.
