Opis

A gripping story of a wily con man, a woman's seduction, and a ghastly crime. With exceptional skill, Wolfe braids trial transcripts, intimate love letters, and period recollections into a compelling historical thriller that culminates in a courtroom drama as timely as any in today's headlines. Connoisseurs of sensational murder stories, from Lizzie Borden to O.J. Simpson, shouldn't miss this one. ""Has all the elements of a good novel.""
