Babysitter
Oates, Joyce Carol
The year is 1977 and Hannnah and Wes Jarrett, a respectable businessman and member of one of the most powerful families in Detroit, live happily with their five and eight-year-old children in their suburban home. Ismelda, her maid, makes everything at home more bearable. But his life and that of his neighbors is shaken by the presence in the city of a murderer whom the media have dubbed Babysitter: he has already kidnapped and tortured six children and left their bodies on the road in conspicuous postures, as if they slept At a Jarrett family philanthropic party, Hannah meets Mr. R., a strange and darkly charismatic man with whom she begins a dangerous affair. Meanwhile, the elusive serial killer, who seems to be part of Detroit's elite, continues to rack up victims and drive the city to despair.
