Rancho Mirage
Aram Saroyan

The crime: murder of a wealthy businessman at exclusive Rancho Mirage, near Palm Springs, California. The suspect: his beautiful wife, a single mother and highly paid international call girl who met the deceased when he was 68. The arrangement between them: she would fulfill his unusual sexual demands-become his sexual slave-he would give her a secure lifestyle. She was described as a sociopath and possible multiple personality who may have crossed over into psychosis. Did she do it? Was she a victim of rape?

This reprint brings the odd story up-to-date with a number of twists and turns. Andrea Sand was convicted of the murder and is serving 26 years to life. While in prison she married a Reno postal worker. Her husband has kept her case before the public and has even set up a website. The prosecutor and D.A. also had life-changes that are included in this new edition.

This is one of the strangest true-crime stories ever written: a story of murder, reported rape, abduction and multiple personalities. It contains all of the ingredients of a chilling page-turner. Saroytan writes non-fiction as compelling as a great novel. Readers won't stop until the last page.

AUTHORBIO: Aram Saroyan, the poet, novelist and author of the non-fiction bestsellers Trio and Last Rites gives us his deepest and most compelling book yet. He currently resides in Southern California.
