This was a unique book by Ann Rule because the victim of the main story is still alive. As a result the story has a similar feel but a different outcome. I really enjoyed this read.

I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys true crime books. If you have had a chance to enjoy Jack Olsen or M. William Phelps, then you will appreciate the writing of Ms. Rule. ( )

Dr. Anthony Pinataro was a cosmetic surgeon and a famed medical researcher whose flashy red lamborghini and flamboyant lifestyle in western New York State suggested a highly successful career. But appearances , as this shocking insider account of Pignataro's tailspin from physician to prisoner proves, can be deceiving - and, for the doctor's wife, very nearly deadly. No one was safe if they got in his way. With scalpel, drugs and arsenic, he betrayed every oath a physician made until his own schemes back fired. Now, the motivations of the classic sociopath are plumbed with chilling accuracy by Ann Rule. Along with other shocking true cases, this worldwide headline-making case will have you turning pages in disbelief that a trusted medical professional could sink to the deliberate murder is not seen for what it truly is : pure evil ( )
