What could drive a wife to become involved in a plot against her own husband? In 1988, the shocking murder of Jim Plantz exposed a tangled story of marriage, betrayal, money, and conspiracy that would ultimately send his wife, Marilyn Plantz, to death row.Jim Plantz was a respected Oklahoma City businessman whose life ended in a violent killing that initially appeared difficult to explain. But as investigators dug deeper, a disturbing picture began to emerge—one involving a secret affair, an insurance policy worth approximately $300,000, and a plan to make Jim’s death look like something else.At the center of the case was Marilyn Plantz. Prosecutors portrayed her as a woman motivated by money and determined to remove her husband from her life.

But behind the headlines was a complicated story of relationships, financial motives, deception, and the devastating consequences suffered by the victim and those left behind.This book takes readers through the life of Marilyn Plantz, her marriage to Jim, the secret relationship, the insurance motive, the murder investigation, the conspiracy surrounding the killing, the courtroom battle, and the long road that ultimately led to death row.What really happened behind the closed doors of the Plantz marriage?
