Bernadette confessed defiantly that she was wedded to the devil. According to one authority, she had been abandoned "by all human sentiment" and died alone in the night, "without any hope of divine aid, an expectation that had long been destroyed within her very soul." The girl's confessors had become her torturers, and finally her killers. Mr. Langdon studied court records, interviewed religious authorities and psychologists to compile this unique account.
