Barbra Piotrowski and Richard Minns were a golden couple - a one-time teenage beauty queen fervently devoted to her lover - a sun-bronzed Texas millionsaire "fitness junkie." They enjoyed a storebook romance charged with intense sexual electricity.

But there was a wife Richard Minns never mentioned. And he was a man obsessed with control who had a violent, unpredictable temper. So when Barbra finally left him, he made her life a daily hell of terror and harassment with the aid of his powerful, influential friends. Then, on a hot October morning, a hired gunman approached Barbra Piotrowski in a Houston parking lot...and pumped four bullets into her back at close range.

A riveting true account of power, sex, corruption-and obsessive love burned violent...and deadly.

"A nasty tale of dirty doings that amply demonstrates the evil money can buy" New York Daily News
