Inhaltsangabe

Joe Shea had a great job selling electronic industrial security systems. While applying, he was advised to get married to appear more stable to the very conservative company. He chose Michelle, a registered nurse and six years his senior. When he made good bucks working he fooled around on her quite often. Then he met Carla Mendez, a sultry enchantress the likes of which Joe never met before. Not only did she seduce him, but she introduced him to a gang of thieves, who exploited Joe’s expertise in burglar alarm systems to pull of several big robberies. Then his wife, Michelle, was killed in an automobile collision. Joe was shaken by this, but was also glad that he could spend more time with Carla. But shortly Carla jilted him for Smoke Tyler, an NFL All Pro quarterback. She also bilked Joe out of a large sum from a robbery, and because of her, he lost his job and was reduced to driving a cab to make ends meet. When Joe learned that Carla murdered his wife and three innocent people, making it look like an accident, he was bent on revenge, and chased her half way around the world and back—a journey that ultimately led him to Death Row. Was it worth it? Find out!
