Synopsis

A little before eleven o'clock on the night of 8 May 2008, a Las Vegas man called 911. A masked intruder had shot his wife, he said, and he had shot the intruder dead, only to find it was his own handyman. It looked like a home invasion and a grieving widower. It was not.

Thomas Randolph had been married six times. Two wives divorced him and lived. The others died. One death, in 1986, brought a murder charge and an acquittal. The death of his sixth wife, Sharon Causse, brought a conviction that took two trials, a reversal, and sixteen years to make stick.

Drawing only on the court record, the Nevada Supreme Court's decisions, and the reporting of the journalists who covered the case in the courtroom, this book tells the whole story with unusual care. It centers the people who died, Sharon Causse and the second victim, Michael Miller. It separates what the law proved from what the pattern only suggests. And it states, every time, that the 1986 case ended in an acquittal.

Clear, fair, and fully sourced, this is the real history behind the nickname, the Black Widower, and behind the long, patient work that finally answered for two murders in a Las Vegas house.
