DUCK IN A RAINCOAT

This is a book about Joe Ricci, a dangerous person who abused children at his adolescent treatment center in Maine, which made him and his partner Dr. Gerald Davidson millions of dollars during its three decades of operation. Ricci and Davidson also ran a harness racetrack in Maine where Ricci terrorized his employees, while running for governor of the state and manipulating the iconic news show 60 Minutes to broadcast a flattering profile of him.
Author Maura Curley, a journalist and one time insider who handled the marketing for Ricci and Davidson's businesses, interviewed former residents of Elan, and numerous others to tell this breathtaking true crime story.
