DECEIT v. DECEIT: True Story of Intimate Betrayal -- Every Word Wiretapped. Only Time in History.

By Vernon Baumrind

Step into one of the most scandalous chapters in true crime history -- a gripping saga of deceptions, espionage, and intimate betrayal, where every word was wiretapped, and the fallout was monumental.

In DECEIT v. DECEIT, Vernon Baumrind pulls readers into a real-life courtroom drama that defies belief. This extraordinary narrative chronicles the unraveling of a marriage in the late 1970s, exposing the devastating impact of infidelity through the rare and unprecedented lens of secretly recorded conversations -- captured before the age of cell phones and digital surveillance. These authentic wiretaps, nearly impossible to replicate today, reveal the raw and unfiltered dialogue of the key players as the scandal unfolded.

What began as one man's desperate attempt to protect his family spiraled into a high-stakes legal showdown, testing the boundaries of federal wiretapping laws. The case drew national attention and ultimately became the subject of an ABC 20/20 segment in 1985. For decades, the recordings were sealed by a family court judge to shield the children involved -- until now.

This book stands at the crossroads of true crime, memoirs, and biographies, offering a rare inside look at a man's private world as it collided with the public eye. It's not only a tale of betrayal and espionage but also one of resilience, integrity, and the relentless pursuit of justice against impossible odds. Baumrind revisits this harrowing ordeal decades later, providing new insights and answering lingering questions from the original publication.

DECEIT v. DECEIT is a must-read for anyone fascinated by true crime history, real-life legal drama, and the complex dynamics of human relationships. This story will leave you questioning the thin line between right and wrong -- and whether the ends can ever justify the means.
