A gloriously greedy cocktail of money, power, and murder, Blood and Money remains one of the best true-crime books ever written.
Beautiful socialite Joan Robinson Hill, an accomplished horsewoman, died in 1969 after falling violently ill. Medical examiners scratched their heads, as they struggled to pinpoint what could have killed the young, vibrant Joan.
Houston oilman Ash Robinson had no such doubts. In his mind, it wasn't a question of what killed his cherished only child, it was a matter of WHO. Pointing out to all who would listen (and law enforcement wasn't especially interested) that Joan's plastic surgeon hubby, John, had recently taken a tempestuous mistress, Ash vows revenge. Throwing down the gauntlet, Ash announces that if the law doesn't bring John to justice, then he will.
Thomas Thompson produced a gripping page-turner of the mayhem that follows Ash's determination to deliver Texas justice to his philandering son-in-law. Blood and Money is a must-read, and lingers long in the mind after the last page is turned.
