Before He Wakes: A True Story of Money, Marriage, Sex, and Murder

Summary: The church lady............the killer
Review: Yet another classic from the pen of Jerry Bledsoe. This book recounts the shocking story of Barbara Stager,a woman who was an agent of the devil, yet who appeared to be a model of Christian virtue by shrouding herself and her life with hypocrisy. She cold bloodedly murdered two sleeping husbands, not out of anger, or jealousy, or self defense, but out of the unquenchable greed that her own desperate desires had wrought in her, wickedly and calculatingly placing a price tag on the heads of both of these unfortunate men who each made one fatal mistake. An actress of Oscar winning ability, she was then able to convince many people around her of her innocence, but she couldn't convince the people who mattered the most; the police, the district attorneys, and most importantly, the jury. With this masterpiece, Bledsoe again proves that only he and Ann Rule are the true pioneers of the true crime genre. Another ten star effort. Chilling!
