The victim was Gary Triano, a Tucson real estate developer with influential friends - and enemies. After finishing a round of golf at a country club, he went to the car park and found a gift in his car: a crudely made pipe bomb that blew him to pieces. The bomb maker was Ron Young, a Colarado bad guy wanted on weapons and fraud charges. The prosecution claimed that the woman he was dating at the time promised to pay him $400,000 to murder her ex-husband. Her name was Pamela Philiips, a socialite, divorcee, and mother of Triano's two children. She received two million dollars upon his death but evaded suspicion for more than a decade. Finally, halfway across the globe in Austria, authorities caught up with the blonde bombshell - igniting one of the most explosive cases in Arizona history.

<p>Praise for Prodigal Father, Pagan Son <p> A one-of-a-kind true tale of being born into madness...and of rising above it. --Robert K. Tanenbaum, New York Times bestselling author of Betrayed and Capture

<p> From the first pages, Droban lays out a story that is captivating and difficult to put down. Pleasantly surprising was that Droban doesn't get weighted down in legalese which, as we all know, happens too often with writers who are also lawyers. Beginning to end, A Socialite Scorned is a fantastic read about a woman who was willing to steal another woman's husband, tolerate his (alleged) abuse until the house of cards is tumbling, attempt to live off what's remaining in the name of alimony and child support, and then murder him so she doesn't have to work like a commoner. Definitely, most definitely, worth reading. -- True Crime Book Reviews<br><br> Praise for Prodigal Father, Pagan Son <br><br> A one-of-a-kind true tale of being born into madness...and of rising above it. --Robert K.
