The KISS of DEATH Jennifer Mayfield was a beautiful young woman whose life was touched by tragedy when she was only 16. She endured multiple sexual assaults, which left severe emotional scars. With some treatment from a psychologist friend, she regains some sense of normalcy, only to see both her first two husbands die a violent death. Was the psychologist friend really a friend, or did he have ulterior motives? When she overhears what she believes is a threat against her life by her third husband, her life is again in shambles, that is, until she hires John Cansler, the handsome Private Investigator, to do some digging. Narrowly escaping death by a bomb planted in her car convinces Jennifer she was correct. Did a decision to take matters into her own hands and no longer be a victim make her a black widow with the kiss of death? This story has a tragic ending but it mirrors real life.
