| Plot Summary of Last Dance, Last Chance |
|---|
"In this biography, Ann Rule the author tells us the story of Anthony Pignataro. He was a cosmetic surgeon, and a famed medical researcher whose flashy red Lamborghini and flamboyant life-style in western New York State suggested a highly successful career. But appearances, as this shocking insider account of Pignataro's tailspin from physician to prisoner proves, can be deceiving-and for the doctor's wife, very nearly deadly. No one was safe if they got in his way. With scalpel, drugs and arsenic, he betrayed every oath a physician makes-until his own schemes backfired.
This is the true account of a doctor who is a REAL criminal, and a real sociopath. The book will have you turning pages in disbelief that a medical professional could sink to the depths of greed, manipulation, and even slow deliberate murder. "
