Storyline

Dorothy Bronson, the 'girl behind the crime' according to Edgar J. Hoover, was one of the most dangerous women ever tracked down by the F.B.I. She made a cold-blooded killer out of a petty thief, Freddie Martin, and drives him to the top among public enemies...and then to Alcarataz...all to satisfy her insatiable love of perfume, furs and luxury. Written by Les Adams {longhorn1939@suddenlink.net}
