WHEN A SUPERSTAR BECOMES A SUSPECT. WHEN A MILLIONAIRE TURNS MURDERER? Railroad baron Jim Fisk.supergambler Arnold Rothstein.movie stars Sal Mineo and Thelma Todd.political movers and shakers like Harvey Milk and Allard Lowenstein--for all their wealth, power, and prestige, they were pathetically vulnerable to a killer's bullet. Harry K. Thaw, Kid McCoy, Claudine Longet, Jean Harris, and Claus von Bulow--they lived in the fast lane where dreams came true and every whim was gratified. Yet something drove them to crime. Here at last are their stories.stories of the slayings that riveted a nation.and of the greed, desire, and hatred behind the headlines. - and - THEY LIVED AT A PACE THAT DROVE THEM TO MURDER.OR MADE THEM VICTIMS. "Mad Harry" Thaw--He was crazy enough to shoot a man before a hundred witnesses. And wealthy enough to escape the death sentence. DR. BENNETT CLARKE HYDE--As the heir to millions, he had the perfect motive for murder.and, as the doctor who signed his victims' death certificates, the perfect means of covering it up. LANA TURNER--The was Hollywood's most alluring "sweater girl," but she gave her star performance as the lover of a vicious gigolo.and as the mother of the murderer. JEAN HARRIS--Beneath the refined veneer of the model headmistress lay a woman capable of destroying herself for love.or of killing her faithless lover. JOHN LENNON--He temporarily abandoned his career and his status as superstar to escape the pressures of fame and the adoration of his fans, but he could not escape the twisted envy of his assassin. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.
