Monster in River Oaks Author: Houston Attorney, Michael Phillips, captures the true story of one of the wealthiest women in America, who despite her money became a victim of a predatory monster. Joan Blaffer Johnson, an Exxon heiress, widowed with three children, watched as her family was divided and conquered by outsiders.
Inexplicably, the outsiders were ultimately granted insider status. As a result, joy turned into torment, closeness became sexual abuse, and one of the outsiders became the "Duke" of Del Monte Drive. Unrestrained, he soon exercised his dominion by intimidation, guided only by his insatiable lust for power and control.
