But the most chilling story of all was never tolduntil now. Kent Walker, Sante's elder son, reveals how he survived forty years of the Dragon Lady's very special brand of motherly love and still managed to get away.

As a child Kent watched his mother destroy his hardworking father, Ed Walker, and thenwith Kent's painful collusionsnare what Sante called my millionaire. When she married seemingly respectable real-estate developer Ken Kimes, it was a match made in hell.

For the next two decades Kent's mother and stepfather indulged in a globetrotting orgy of criminal behaviour.
