On Jan. 21, 2014, Lacey Spears killed her 5-year-old son. Her weapon of choice was a bottle of water, surreptitiously administered against doctor’s orders.

The death of little Garnett in a Westchester County hospital became national news, the tale of a deranged mom driven to kill by a rare mental illness: Munchausen by proxy syndrome.The new book “My Sweet Angel” is the product of author John Glatt’s 18 months researching Spears' life story in almost forensic detail.

Garnett was only in the hospital, fighting for his life, because of a near-lethal dose of sodium slipped into his system through an intravenous feeding tube.
