Lizzie Borden took an ax And gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done She gave her father forty one. In recreating the events of that fateful day, August 4th 1892, in Fall River Massachusetts, and the extraordinary circumstances which led up to them, Evan Hunter spins a breathtakingly imaginative tale of an enigmatic spinster whose secret life would eventually force her to the ultimate confrontation with her stepmother and father. Here is Lizzie Borden freed of history and legend,a full bodied woman of hot blood and passion, fighting against her prim New England upbringing, surrendering to the late Victorian hedonism of London, Paris and the Riviera, yet fated to live out her meagre life in a placid Massachusetts town. Seething with frustration and rage, a prisoner of her appetites, Lizzie Borden finally snapped, but how and why she was led into her uncompromising acts is at the heart of this enthralling, suspenseful work of the imagination. Alternating the actual inquest and trial of Lizzie Borden with an account of her head spinning, seductive trip to Europe, Evan Hunter portrays Lizzie as she may really have been. Ed McBain (1926-2005), was an American author and screenwriter. Born Salvatore Albert Lombino, he legally adopted the name Evan Hunter in 1952. While successful and well known as Evan Hunter, he was even better known as Ed McBain, a name he used for most of his crime fiction.
