About this ebook
LIFETIME Movie Adaptation "SECRETS OF A GOLD DIGGER KILLER," Starring Julie Benz, Justine Warrington, and Eli Gabay, Premiering June 13, 2021
From the New York Times bestselling author of BREAKING POINT
Multimillionaire Steven Beard, Jr. fell hard for Celeste Martinez, a shapely, blonde waitress who served him his nightly cocktail at the local country club…as well as sexual favors. In 1995, the 70-year-old widow Beard married the 32-year-old mother of twin teenagers and gave her homes, cars, and more jewelry and designer clothes than she could ever wear. But it wasn’t enough for Celeste.
Claiming she was depressed, she checked into a psychiatric facility, where she met fellow patient Tracey Tarlton, a prominent bookstore manager. Celeste seduced Tracey, convincing her that the only way they could be together would be to kill Steve.
In the wee hours of an October morning, Steve awoke to a shotgun blast to his gut. Tracey was arrested but refused to implicate Celeste…until she learned the truth about her lover. In a sordid trial sensationalized even more by the antics of famed Texas defense attorney Dick DeGeurin, the depths of Celeste’s lies were revealed in a tale of lust, betrayal, and regret.
“The Fortune Hunter is New York Times bestselling author Suzy Spencer at her best...masterfully written…” —Cathy Scott, award-winning journalist and Los Angeles Times bestselling author
“...a brilliantly crafted and endlessly compelling true crime thriller, Spencer is among the best of the best.”—Burl Barer, Edgar Award-winning author
“...a suspenseful, page-turning tale of bloody, Texas-style greed with a gripping narrative and colorful cast of characters…”—Caitlin Rother, New York Times bestselling author of THEN NO ONE CAN HAVE HER
“...riveting…” —GLOBE MAGAZINE
