The Shocking True Story of Marriage and Murder.
The doctor's wife . . .
When forty-six-year-old Janet Overton, a popular Orange County school district trustee, died suddenly of unexplained causes, no one suspected foul play, even in light of her husband's past . . .
The doctor's secrets . . .
Richard Overton, a brilliant doctor, had admitted once before to lacing his wife's milk with toxins. He was also accused of poisoning her mother. And his recent diaries exposed an obsessively vindictive man who suspected Janet, his third wife, of an infidelity he vowed to avenge. Incredibly, when her autopsy revealed traces of cyanide, the coroner's findings were dismissed, the official ruling was death by natural causes, and her husband, a pillar of the community, was never even questioned.
One year later, Detective Timothy Carney accidentally stumbled across the cold case and decided to engage the good doctor in a game of cat and mouse. It would explode into a landmark trial that would eventually expose one of the country's most gifted men as one of its most heartless monsters.
