دانلود کتاب Internal Combustion: The Story of a Marriage and a Murder in the Motor City

On the night before Mother's Day, 2004, teacher and mother-of-two Nancy Seaman drove through a storm to Home Depot and bought a hatchet. Three days later, the body of her husband, Bob, was discovered in the back of her SUV, hacked and stabbed to death. These facts aren't in dispute; the question is, How did it happen? Did Nancy murder her husband when he asked for a divorce, or was she a battered woman who killed in self-defense? Even the family was split on the answer, with older son Jeff certain his father was murdered in cold blood and younger son Greg equally certain his mother was telling the truth. Maynard (To Die For), who was struck by similarities between her life and Nancy's, tells the complex story of a desperately unhappy marriage. Though she was unable to get Nancy or most of her immediate family to talk to her, Maynard seems to have formed a surprisingly complete picture of their lives. Her meditations on the parallels between her family and the Seamans aren't compelling but don't detract from a gripping story.
