As one of Arkansas' top criminal attorneys, Bill McArthur lived a dream-life: wealth, a fast-track career, a beautiful family, and influential friends in the highest circles of Little Rock's good-old-boy society. But that was shattered one July morning when two men - supposedly delivering flowers - burst into McArthur's suburban home and brutally murdered his wife. The D.A. said he was innocent. The sheriff said he wasn't. The investigation exposed a labyrinth of dark sexual passions and double-crosses, leading to one of his own clients - a remorseless femme fatale who claimed McArhur as one of her many dangerous liaisons. Despite the grand jury who believed McArthur innocent, the sheriff vowed to put him behind bars. Here is the entire riveting story of th esensational, cryptic murder that still has Arkansas talking - a story that doesn't end with the jury's verdict.
