A chilling true crime story of a beautiful blonde toxicologist who murdered her husband and staged it as a suicide.
Greg DeVillers was a top biotech executive, and Kristen Rossum was embarking on a career in toxicology at the San Diego Medical Examiner's office. They seemed to be happily married, living the American dream. But only months shy of their second anniversary, Kristen found her handsome husband dead from a drug overdose—his corpse sprinkled with rose petals. By his side was their wedding photo. The scene was reminiscent of American Beauty, one of Kristen's favorite movies.
Authorities initially deemed it a suicide, until they discovered that the rare poison found in Greg's body was the same poison missing from Kristen's office. As the investigation unfolded, the truth about Kristen's lurid affair, long-time drug addiction, and the personal and professional secrets she would kill to keep hidden came to light—secrets that would ultimately expose the beautiful blonde as the Deadly American Beauty she really was.
