description: Betty Alt, a sociologist, and Sandra Wells, a criminal investigator, have researched and compiled factual data, interviews, statistics, and stories about some of the scariest femme fatales who have ever lived. They spare no gory detail in this examination of the female criminal. With meticulous preparation, they have created an enthralling read that will seduce as it terrifies. Wicked Women will shock and horrify with its tales of terrible females and the carnage left in their wake. The Countess Báthory, famous for bathing in the blood of perhaps 600 girls; Susan Smith, the infamous mother who kidnapped and brutally murdered her own sons; gang members, thieves, liars and cheats are among the women described in this book. For all those who think only men commit acts of savagery, herein lies the truth about some particularly vicious vixens.
