The Texas millionaire rancher discovered his wife and bookkeeper had stolen thousands of dollars from him. After he demanded the money back, he started getting sick. While in the hospital, doctors were mystified as to how an otherwise healthy, energetic man could become so deathly ill. The dying man told everyone within earshot that his wife and bookkeeper were killing him. The man's wife said her husband was hallucinating from drugs the doctors were giving him. The millionaire rancher succumbed in the hospital while strapped down to his bed with restraints on his hands and feet and tubes in every orifice. After the rancher died, an anonymous caller tipped off the police. The widow was the sole beneficiary of the estate and a $350,000 life insurance policy. A week before the man's death, a teenager visited the rancher's home and became deathly ill after he drank juice that was in the rancher's refrigerator. Two years after the millionaire's death, a bottle of arsenic was found in a storage locker rented by a woman under an assumed name. The millionaire's ex-wife, the mother of his children, became a sleuth to help solve the murder. No one could have predicted the aftermath with its strange twists and unexpected results.

Review by: movieactor on June 19, 2012 :
I could not put this book down once I started reading it. It is a inspirational true story. I admire the author's honesty and truth, and the courage to share this true story with the world. I highly recommend this book.
Jeannie Walker kept my attention and I could feel that she wrote this book from the heart....and I believe that takes a very good writer.
This true crime story records human shortcomings and the whole gambit of human motivations and passions--love and hate, greed and selflessness, good and evil. The author tells the story in her own way, her own style, while sharing her religious journey from spiritual darkness into the light. Regardless of whether or not you share her viewpoint about good and evil, God and the devil, I believe every reader will readily join this author as this story unfolds, waiting until the very last page to see if justice prevails.
It is a Keeper!
