Synopsis

Widow's Web is the saga of Mary Lee Orsini, the Little Rock Lady Macbeth whose attraction proved fatal for her husband and almost equally destructive for all the others whose paths she crossed.

Penetrating the incredible web of half-truths and sexual blackmail used by Orsini to stay a half step ahead of the law, author Gene Lyons adds a compelling character to the annals of criminal reporting.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

They called Mary Lee Orsini Little Rock's Lady Macbeth. Her beauty and cunning proved fatal for her husband (shot dead in his bed) and nearly as destructive to almost everyone else who crossed her path: the defense lawyer whose wife she was convicted of murdering, the prosecutor whose career she destroyed, the sheriff she manipulated to the wrong side of the law, and the reporters she twisted around her poisonous little finger.

Here's the whole deadly web -- of lies, murder, and sexual blackmail -- that ensnared the media, men of power, and finally, the entire state of Arkansas in its greatest criminal drama of this century.
