Get the riveting inside story from the prosecutor who brought down one of California's most infamous female serial killers in The Bone Garden. William P. Wood, the Deputy District Attorney who prosecuted Dorothea Puente, reveals the shocking truth behind the seemingly sweet, grandmotherly Sacramento landlady. Only her eyes hinted at the evil within: Puente drugged, murdered, and buried at least seven tenants in her own yard, cashing their Social Security checks for profit. Wood chronicles Puente's chameleon-like deviousness, her chilling escape attempt even as police unearthed bodies around her, the painstaking investigation, and the sensational trial that ignited a media firestorm and transfixed the nation.
