In 2003, her husband Chuck died of an apparent stroke. Only a month later, she married Chaz Higgs, an ER nurse who, it was later revealed, had attended to her late husband just before his death. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree years later, fifty-year-old Kathy died after a heart attack--the result, her family and friends believed, of a stressful political campaign. But when an autopsy of Kathy's body revealed no signs of heart disease, investigators dug deeper into Kathy's case...only to find the presence of a powerful, paralyzing emergency-room drug in Kathy's system. A jury would later charge Nurse Chaz with murder in the first degree. But could Kathy's first husband \"also\"\"\"have been the victim of Chaz's treachery? And just how much did Kathy know? This is the shocking true story of a family torn apart by lies, medical crime, and \"POISONED LOVE.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarlton Smith wrote the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling\u003ci\u003eThe Search for the Green River Killer\u003c\/i\u003e.
