 Buy hardcover at Amazon TWISTED TRIANGLE: A Famous Crime Writer, a Lesbian Love Affair, and the FBI Husband’s Violent Revenge is the crazy but factual account of a kidnapping, an attempted murder and a love triangle involving two married FBI agents, Margo and Gene Bennett, and crime novelist Patricia Cornwell. This story made national headlines when it broke in 1996, but Rother is the first writer to tell Margo’s exclusive story. (Wiley/Jossey-Bass, May 2008) "Hitchcock wishes he’d dreamed it up. Capote wishes he’d written it. Rother’s mesmerizing narrative chronicles a wife’s heroic struggle against great odds to survive her psychopath husband’s elaborate scheme to make her murder the perfect crime. This spellbinding tale offers an added treat -- it’s true." -- Marcus Stern, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and co-author of "The Wrong Stuff" |

Wayne Adam Ford, a long-haul trucker who was convicted of killing four
women -- and dismembering two of them -- in four California counties. He
was sentenced in 2007 and is now sitting on Death Row in San Quentin state
prison. Rother will offer a comprehensive look at the case, which took
eight years to get to trial, and reveal new and exclusive details about
Ford and his family. (Kensington/Pinnacle, March 2009) "As with all of her nonfiction, Caitlin Rother delivers page-turning excitement and blood curdling terror once again with BODY PARTS, yet her skill screams loudest in covering the details of murder--sometimes the most ghastly crimes imaginable. Using a reporter's edge, novelist's eye, and a crime-scene investigator's nose for evidence, Rother's latest is all at once riveting, unbelievable, fast-paced, and sure to keep you up at night wondering how evil seems to top itself time and again." -- M. William Phelps, author of "I'll Be Watching You" |
