About this title

Synopsis:

The crime: the murder of a wealthy businessman at exclusive Rancho Mirage, near Palm Springs, California. The suspect: his beautiful wife, a single mother and highly paid international call girl who met the deceased when he was 68. The arrangement between them: she would fulfil his unusual sexual demands - become his sexual salve - he would give her a secure lifestyle. She was described as a sociopath and possible multiple personality who may have crossed over into psychosis. Did she do it? Was she a victim of rape? This reprint brings the odd story up to date with a number of twists and turns. Andrea Sand was convicted of murder and is serving 26 years to life. While in prison she married a Reno postal worker. Her husband has kept her case before the public and has even set up a website. The prosecutor and DA also had life-changes that are included in this new edition. Saroyan writes non-fiction as compelling as a great novel. You won't stop reading until the last page.
