THE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE MURDERS A True Story of Obsessive Love and Murder-For-Hire

Hardback. One 1985 spring evening, Sandra Black, a 36yr. old mother and housewife, hurried to her home in Bryan, Texas, carrying a late dinner for her family. But when she entered her darkened kitchen, she was met by a killer - a killer hired by her husband. The murderer shot Sandra twice in the head at point-blank range, for a fee of $10,000. What type of person would kill for profit? What sort of husband would hire an assassin, and where would he find one? The author digs deep into the lives of two men, two families, and two small southern towns to unravel a complex, compelling series of events that would ultimately leave 3 people dead and raise profound questions of moral and legal responsibility for murder.
