description: This title is an intriguing tale out of San Diego involving attempted murder-for-hire, conspiracy and insane greed, leaving the victim shocked and defenseless. She is a young mother from St. Louis, abused and stalked in an eery scenario, who struggles to survive and protect her two children. Her hellish existence as the wife of this Jekyll/Hyde sociopath to whom only money brings happiness transforms her from a meek and kind person to a strong, courageous, focused woman who is determined to fight for justice. When a second related crime of the bloody torture/near murder of an innocent Iraqi immigrant occurs, the solution to the first crime begins to take shape. But this is only the genesis from which investigations, blunders, arrests and trials emerge. The victims suffer through months of intimidation and self-doubt hoping for the conviction of ruthless conspirators and hired hitmen. When the case comes to conclusion, they are left to rebuild their lives and conquer their fears. The young mother's methods for accomplishing this are as unique as the story itself.
