An in-depth look at several of the cases of alleged child abuse that occurred as a result of the incompetence of coroner Charles Smith. While the book is very thoroughly researched, it reads rather like a court document for much of the narrative and can be confusing at times. That being said, the author still manages to do a good job of making Smith's victims sympathetic and real.

Overall, an intense look at how the Ontario justice system completely failed a number of grieving parents which is informative but not terribly entertaining.
