An astonishing true crime story. From the back cover: Sweet, silver-haired Dorothea Puente was an angel on earth-a grandmotherly Good Samaritan who ran a Sacramento boardinghouse for the need, the aged, the alcoholic and infirm. Vivacious and caring, she gave her itme selflessly to charities and charmed everyone she met--including then-governor of California, Jerry Brown. But Dorothea's shole life was a lie--a brilliantly elaborate ruse designed to mask a cold heart, calculating mind, and a twisted, chameleonlike genius that enabled her to get away with murder over and over again.
