TWISTED TRIANGLE A Famous Crime Writer, a Lesbian Love Affair, and the FBI Husband's Violent Revenge

While doing research for one of her books, bestselling novelist Patricia Cornwell had a brief affair with married FBI Agent Margo Bennett. When the marriage dissolved, Gene Bennett, Margo's husband, also an FBI agent, snapped. He resorted to kidnapping Margo, viciously and repeatedly using a Taser, then binding, beating, and holding her hostage for days. Narrator Laural Merlington offers a precise interpretation of the events that led to Gene Bennett's imprisonment. She keeps a firm grip on the material, never overdoing the seamier aspects of the story. Investigative journalist Caitlin Rother uncovered the sordid details, and while her sources do not include interviews with either Gene Bennett or Cornwell, her account manages to remain unbiased.
