One Last Kiss

The papers dubbed beautiful Thea Harper??Westport a Black Widow. They said she lured Senator Simon??Gallatin to her home for a night of deadly??passion. But psychiatrists insisted it was a short??circuit of the mind, a rare seizure disorder, that had??unleashed Thea's murderous rage. Now, even after??the trial, the gruesome testimony of detectives??and forensic specialists, Thea can't remember the??terrifying moment when she struck Simon down . . .??only its hideous aftermath: the torrent of blood,??the broken corpse, the cold steel bite of the??handcuffs as the police led her away. After six??months in a posh Connecticut mental hospital, Thea is??back home with her daughter, eager to make a new??start. If only the community would let her forget .??. . if only the chief of police wasn't after her .??. . if only the senator's mother wasn't vowing??revenge. And if only Thea could be sure she's really??been cured. For soon the killing begins again.??And once more Thea can't remember . . . even when??she wakes up with her hands stained with blood.
