But this shocking, bloody saga began 50 years earlier…

Beautiful, vivacious Samantha Jones had a penchant for dangerous men. Her teenage marriage to gambler Amos Smith ended when he was gunned down in a hit orchestrated by his wife’s alleged lover, who was lynched. The widow then married the abusive Bill Olds who was later arrested for theft, forgery and murder.

Violence stalked the next generation when Samantha’s daughter, Maggie Olds, was twice widowed with the murders of her second and fourth husbands. Yet, Maggie’s unfortunate choice for a fifth husband, F. M. Snow, led to a gruesome, triple tragedy.
