Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Every year, seven thousand infants die for no apparent reason – they simply fall asleep and never wake up again….. Death in the crib syndrome? Or – Death by “lullaby”? To a lullaby that is said to be “sung to children in some ancient cultures in times of famine and drought. Or when a tribe grew so large that it could no longer feed itself on its land.” A lullaby sung to those maimed in battle and the terminally ill – anyone who would be better off dead. Quietly. Without pain. No agony… This is “Lullaby.”

The novel was published in 2002 after tragic events in the author’s life: his father and stepmother were murdered and burned, and Chuck Palanick took part in the trial, contributing to the death sentence of the murderer.
