Author Description

An anthology of true crime of black widows headlined by Marissa Devault...On a Wednesday night in Gilbert, Maricopa County, Arizona, Dale Harrell went to bed just like every other night, completely unaware that his supposedly loving partner would sneak into his bedroom and murder him in his sleep. On January 14th 2009, Marissa DeVault entered the master bedroom that she and Dale Harrell shared, and beat him to near-death whilst he slept. She carried out several strikes on Harrell's head with a hammer, which in turn caused multiple skull fractures and he was taken to hospital. DeVault told law enforcement officials that Harrell was assaulted by an unknown assailant who had attempted to break into the home. Judging by her calm and relaxed demeanor, the police grew suspicious of DeVault...and what they would soon uncover would be a lifetime of lies worthy of a crime novel.
