<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The dark double life of Ellen Boehm, the mother who murdered her two sons--and nearly killed her daughter.</b> <p/> Ellen Boehm, a single mom from St. Louis, Missouri, appeared devoted to her children. But in reality, she was unequipped for motherhood, financially strapped, and desperate. Within a year of each other, her sons, ages two and four, died mysteriously, and Boehm's eight-year-old daughter then suffered a near-fatal mishap when a hair dryer fell into the girl's bath. While neighbors wondered how Boehm remained so calm through it all, Det. Sgt. Joseph Burgoon of St. Louis Homicide had darker suspicions. <p/> Burgoon soon unraveled a labyrinth of deception, greed, and obsession that revealed a cold-blooded killer whose get-rich-quick scheme came at the cost of her children's lives. Boehm had taken out insurance policies on her children with six different companies totaling nearly $100,000. Using police reports, case documents, and photos, journalist John Coston recreates the events that led to one mother's unspeakable acts of filicide--and a cop's relentless pursuit of the truth. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Coston is a veteran journalist and a former news editor on the national desk at the <i>Wall Street Journal</i>.
