A Season in Purgatory
''A Season in Purgatory'' is a 1993 novel by Dominick Dunne. It was inspired by the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley, for which Michael Skakel, the nephew of Ethel Skakel Kennedy, eventually was convicted. Dunne became fascinated with the story after covering the 1991 rape trial of William Kennedy Smith for ''Vanity Fair''.〔December 17, 2002 Dominick Dunne profile by Jeff Falcon at Surftofind.com〕

==Plot synopsis==
The novel's protagonist and narrator is Harrison Burns, who received an Ivy League education thanks to the generosity of Gerald Bradley, the patriarch of a large, wealthy, and politically well-connected Irish Catholic family who has links to organized crime. Twenty years after Connecticut teenager and Bradley neighbor Winifred Utley is bludgeoned to death with a softball bat, her murder remains unsolved, and Burns, now a successful true crime writer who is haunted by the secret he has kept for the past two decades, steps forward to accuse Gerald's son Constant, who is being groomed to be President of the United States, of the crime. What ensues is a widespread investigation that threatens to tear apart one of the most powerful families in the state, unless they manage to destroy Burns first.
