When the Devil Holds the Candle
By Karin Fossum

Either somebody just slid an ice cube down your back or you're reading the opening pages of When the Devil Holds the Candle, a psychological tour de force by Norwegian thriller writer Karin Fossum. A handsome, thuggish teenager disappears, and his tormenter is a lonely, crazed old lady whose mind sucks you in like the most Poe-ish of maelstroms.

Shocking Family Secrets: About the Show

Every family has a secret...but how far will people go to protect these secrets? And how do they move past the truth once it is uncovered? Shocking Family Secrets explores real stories of deception, mystery, and scandal that are hidden just beneath the surface of what appears, from the outside, to be ordinary family lives. From kidnapped children reared in hiding, to married cousins, to fugitive moms, Shocking Family Secrets pulls back the curtain of normalcy to unravel the deeply buried mysteries behind these twisted family betrayals and tearful family reunions, while revealing how - and why - these secrets were kept in the first place. These concealed narratives are not only unbelievably shocking, they are also disturbingly true. Every family has a secret...and the secret could be you. Tune in for the premiere of Shocking Family Secrets Monday, January 7th at 9/8c.
