La Crescenta, California — August 1935. A barber comes home after dark with two friends invited for a barbecue supper, and finds his wife face down in the backyard fish pond. There's a snakebite on her foot, a note pinned to the door that's been hanging there a day too long — and for a long time, longer than you'd believe, this wasn't a murder case at all.
From the newspapers, the court files, and the sworn record: the story of Mary Busch James of Burt, Iowa — and of the man the country came to call Rattlesnake James.
