Excerpt from Mrs. Marden's Ordeal According to ordinary standards, I should consider Charlie Corcoran's tragedy greater than mine - particularly as I am almost as big a figure in his as in my own. But I can not. There are times when the ordinary standards are worth no more than the words in which they are framed. They neither define justice nor afford consolation. And now I can not be bound by the mockery of trite conventions and accepted rules. I must do, not what people would have me do, but what I want to do. When all is said and done, do we not, under the hot urge of the things that make life worth while, do always what we want to do? I am utterly unable to make myself say that I am as sorry for Charlie as I am for myself. It does not matter to me at all, in the last analysis, that his, like mine, is a love tragedy.

Josef Fritzl was a 73-year-old retired engineer in Austria. He seemed to be living a normal life with his wife, Rosemarie, and their family—though one daughter, Elisabeth, had decades earlier been "lost" to a religious cult. Throughout the years, three of Elisabeth's children mysteriously appeared on the Fritzls' doorstep; Josef and Rosemarie raised them as their own. But only Josef knew the truth about Elisabeth's disappearance... For twenty-seven years, Josef had imprisoned and molested Elisabeth in his man-made basement dungeon, complete with sound-proof paneling and code-protected electric locks. There, she would eventually give birth to a total of seven of Josef's children. One died in infancy—and the other three were raised alongside Elisabeth, never to see the light of day. Then, in 2008, one of Elisabeth's children became seriously ill, and was taken to the hospital. It was the first time the nineteen-year-old girl had ever gone outside—and soon, the truth about her background, her family's captivity, and Josef's unspeakable crimes would come to light. John Glatt's Secrets in the Cellar is the true story of a crime that shocked the world.
