Prominent Buckhead author  Danielle Rollins  survived a bold home-invasion the day after Christmas Cops recovered weapons including a stolen gun, duct tape and rubber gloves from the scene and based on video footage she believes the suspects  had been casing her for weeks.

It's just the latest misfortune to befall Danielle, who's endured previous break-ins this year and whose storybook marriage to a member of the enormously successful Rollins family ended up in a spectacularly  messy divorce that has spawned litigation and contempt.

My colleague Bill Rankin , host of the AJC's popular Breakdown podcast series , has thoroughly researched the case for this story:  The Glen and Danielle Rollins saga: A marriage, a mansion, a mess.
