The true crime story of a 1999 California contract killing gone wrong, in which a husband hired a man to murder his wife -- only to wind up dead as well.

West Coast doctor Kenneth Stahl would do anything to free himself from his wife Carolyn. Then Adriana Vasco -- Kenneth's former receptionist and mistress of nine years -- obliged by introducing him to ex-con Dennis Earl Godley. The deal was set. Godley would murder Carolyn for thirty-thousand dollars. On the day after her forty-fourth birthday, the trusting victim was lured to a lonely stretch of road. The deadly rendezvous took a shocking turn. Not only was Carolyn gunned down with a .357 Magnum, but Kenneth would also be killed.

The hit man's getaway driver was the other woman, Adriana Vasco.

BUT WHO WAS DOUBLE-CROSSING WHOM? In a sensational trial, a tangled web of lies, sex, and betrayal unfolded as Adriana and Dennis turned against each other... and Michael Fleeman tells the whole shocking story in his true crime book Deadly Mistress.
