Book Description:
“Ms. Flowers spins a great tale of juicy Southern hospitality, bodacious family feuds, insidious betrayals, and gunslinging, vigilante justice that makes the OK Corral dust-up look like a Sunday afternoon picnic in the park.” — Carol Jose, co-author of Evil Web: A True Story of Cult Abuse and Courage In England’s Daily Telegraph obituary of Senator Strom Thurmond, 6/28/03, Mark Steyn writes: ”(Strom) was the only circuit court judge in South Carolina history to have had sex with a condemned murderess as she was being transferred from the women’s prison to death row. This was Sue Logue, the only woman in the state ever to be sent to the (electric) chair, but not before she'd been sent to the back seat of Judge Thurmond’s car for a lively final ride…Strom was said to have had a soft spot for Mrs. Logue, who he’d hired as a teacher back when he was a school superintendent. She didn’t meet the minimum qualifications for the post, but was said to have had unusual ‘vaginal muscular dexterity’.” “In Wanton Woman Anna Flowers is at the top of her game in the true crime genre. This case history of murder, which made headlines in the 1940s, has it all, human intrigue, wanton sex, and an ending that will hit the reader with the impact of a bullet. The attention to historical detail, coupled with the skill to tell a compelling, fast-paced story, make Flowers’ account of murder and mayhem read like a novel.” —Maynard Allington, author of critically acclaimed The Court of Blue Shadows
