BLOOD IN THE SAND A Shocking True Story of Murder, Revenge and Greed in Las Vegas

Paperback. She snared him, she killed him, then dumped him in the desert. Sexy siren Amy DeChant had a lifelong habit of finding men - rich men - who would take care of her. And when the money ran out, so did Amy. When she met wealthy bookie Bruce Weinstein at a poker room in Las Vegas, she found the perfect prey. Three-hundred-pound Bruce Weinstein was the most successful sports boookie in Las Vegas. When he met the red-haired, blue-eyed Amy, he was smitten. Amy immediately moved in with Bruce and he showered her with expensive gifts. But cars, furs and jewelry didn't hold a candle to the hoard of cash Bruce had stashed in a hole in the wall of his home - or the glittering fortune he kept in a safety deposit box. Hoping to get her hands on Bruce's fortune, Amy murdered him and dumped his body in the Nevada desert - then she poured industrial-strength cleaning fluid on his corpse to further its decomposition. When police found the body and identified it as Weinstein's, the search for Amy was on. Finally, with the help of 'America's Most Wanted,' the lethal lady was captured and found guilty of first-degree murder. A fascinating case of greed, deception, and cold-blooded murder in the most outrageous city in the world. Illus. 237pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
