The Palm Beach Murder

By Marion Collins

Book Overview

For thirty-three-year-old millionaire James Sullivan, sweeping Lita McClinton off her feet was easy. But when the reckless social climber and adulterer turned marriage in their Palm Beach mansion into a luxurious hell, the beautiful Georgia debutante wanted out-and half of her husband's fortune to take with her. Then in 1987, a hit man unloaded three bullets into Lita's head. Her family demanded justice. James had other plans-and the money to insure it. But it wasn't until eleven years later that a startling confession from a surprise witness would bring James Sullivan's comfortable life crashing down around him. The cold-blooded millionaire was indicted and fled the country turning hotspots across the globe into exotic private playgrounds before settling with his new fiancee in a sumptuous resort near Bangkok, where he was arrested four years later. From Palm Beach elite to life in a squalid Thailand jail cell this is the astonishing true story of one man's flight from justice and one family's burning desire to make him pay.

Very interesting tale

of a miserly man, who instead of paying support and agreeing to divorce terms decides to have his wife killed. It is amazing how this man is finally caught after over 10 years of being a fugitive. You will not be able to put this one down.
