Reseña del editor:
This book provides an overview of several of the most famous homicidal husband cases of recent years, including: Sam Sheppard, who inspired the TV series and movie "The Fugitive"; Jeffrey McDonald, the subject of the bestseller "Fatal Vision"; Mister Perfect, Brad Cunningham, who was convicted of bludgeoning his wife to death; Michael Peterson, who was the subject of the IFC documentary series "The Staircase" and a lifetime original movie starring Treat Williams; OJ Simpson, whose dream team of lawyers defended the former pro-football player and movie star as the entire nation watched; and, Claus von Bulow, immortalized in the book and movie "Reversal of Fortune". It also includes: Robert Blake, former TV star, who was suspected of engineering the death of his con woman wife; Scott Peterson, a philanderer who almost escaped arrest for the murder of his wife and unborn child; and, Lambert 'Bart' Knol, who claimed he suffered from 'substance-induced persistent amnesia' when he was accused of killing his wife of thirty-eight years. These cases and others are presented in an objective manner by a knowledgeable voice that recognizes that suspicion, and sometimes even conviction, are not always synonymous with guilt.
