LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON

Paperback. 17 years before handsome Jed Ardito strangled his girlfriend to death, his mother had her own lover killed. Marie Daniele's screams of terror on a 911 tape were chilling, yet worse was to come for the Brooklyn beauty at the hands of her playboy boyfriend Jed Ardito. Her sizzling affair with the handsome Sarah Lawrence grad had always been stormy, but finally the bewitching 24yr old couldn't take any more. Sobbing to police he was going to kill her, Marie never knew how horribly prophetic her words would be. Only 9 weeks after being choked by Ardito during a violent argument, he lured her to a plush New York hotel room for an afternoon of unbridled sex, where he strangled her to death with his bare hands, and then took off for Brooklyn to wine and dine another woman. Even the jaded detectives investigating the case were stunned by the next shocker. Nearly 2 decades before, Ardito's mother, a woman who lived life in the fast lane, had her own boyfriend murdered in a jealous fit of rage. Illus. 227pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
