Summary "A rollicking historical account of Marguerite Steinheil ('the Red Widow"), a real-life French femme fatale who used her influence to arrange governmental appointments, blackmailed her opponents, and may have even attempted to poison those who got in the way of her agenda--and also mysteriously survived a home invasion that left her husband and mother dead, leaving the police with more questions than answers. For readers of The Radium Girls and Sin in the Second City, THE RED WIDOW delivers intrigue and suspense like no other historical biography on the market"-- Provided by publisher.
