Produktbeschreibung

From an award-winning journalist, this "grippingly suspenseful true-crime tale details the foiling of a wealthy Texan's plot to have his wife murdered" (Publishers Weekly).

To the world, Linda DeSilva's marriage to Robert Edelman was perfect. He was her college boyfriend turned wealthy and successful husband, and the father of her children. But what friends and family didn't know was that the Texas real estate tycoon who set her up with a luxurious life in Dallas was also her abuser. When she asked him for a divorce, the violence against her only escalated, until the shocking moment she learned her husband had hired an assassin to take her life.

From acclaimed journalist and author Jim Schutze, "My Husband's Trying to Kill Me!" is the riveting true-crime account of how Linda DeSilva worked with the FBI to trap her husband before he could act on his murderous intentions-and how the sting operation nearly got her killed instead. A shocking and sensational story of a wife and mother's escape from the marriage that went from American dream to every woman's worst nightmare.
