Although they account for only ten percent of all murders, those attributed to women seem especially likely to captivate the public. This absorbing book examines why that is true and how some women, literally, get away with murder. Combining compelling storytelling with insightful observations, the book invites readers to take a close look at ten high-profile killings committed by American women. The work exposes the forces that underlie the public's fascination with female killers and determine why these women so often become instant celebrities. Cases are paired by motive—love, money, revenge, self-defense, and psychopathology. Through them, the authors examine the appeal of women who commit murders and show how perceptions of their crimes are shaped. The book details both the crimes and the criminals as it explores how pop culture treats stereotypes of female murderers in film and print. True crime aficionados will be fascinated by the minute descriptions of what happened and why, while pop culture enthusiasts will appreciate the lens of societal norms through which these cases are examined.

A tantalizing tale of a legendary knight and a headstrong lady whose daring quest for a mysterious crystal will draw them into a whirlwind of treachery–and desire. When the fearsome knight called Hugh the Relentless swept into Lingwood Manor like a storm, everyone cowered–except Lady Alice. Sharp-tongued and unrepentant, the flame haired beauty believed Sir Hugh was not someone to dread but the answer to her dreams. She knew he had come for the dazzling green crystal, knew he would be displeased to find that it was no longer in her possession. Yet Alice had a proposition for the dark and forbidding knight: In return for a dowry that would free Alice and her brother from their uncle's grasp, she would lend her powers of detection to his warrior's skills and together they would recover his treasured stone. But even as Hugh accepted her terms, he added a condition of his own: Lady Alice must agree to a temporary betrothal–one that would soon draw her deep into Hugh's great stone fortress, and into a battle that could threaten their lives...and their only chance at love.

What caused the five mass extinctions evidenced by Earth's geologic record? How human was the behavior of our Neanderthal ancestors? Who kidnapped Charles Lindbergh's infant son in what has been called "the crime of the twentieth century," and how could that perpetrator be found? Who or what was responsible for the crash of a small plane in Ruidoso, New Mexico in 1989, a question that became the basis for an important civil suit? In PLANTS AND CRIME, botanist Alan Graham describes key forms of plant evidence and explains how plant residues from seeds to wood have been used to answer those and other compelling questions. PLANTS AND CRIME also introduces Graham's fictional detective, John Ramming of St. Louis's Division of Criminal Investigation Services, the protagonist of Dr. Graham's mystery novels GATEWAY TO MURDER, SEASON OF DISCONTENT, and MASS EXTINCTIONS. Readable singly or together, the three novels and this companion volume offer a unique, informative, and entertaining perspective on botany and the often-surprising uses to which it can be put.
