Book description
The True Story of a devious killer and the average woman who did what
the police couldn't do. A terrible crime is made all the more
unfathomable when the least likely suspect is accused, and a woman must
put aside her grief to aid the police before the chance at justice is
lost forever. These are circumstances in which one extraordinary woman
finds herself entwined in "Citizen Jane," a Hallmark Channel
Original Movie which tells the true story of the lone woman who refused
to let a killer escape, even at the risk of her own life. Jane Alexander
had it all: A wonderful family, personal and financial success and a
deep romance with Tom O'Donnell. A family friend for 25 years prior to
their romance, Tom helped Jane cope with the death of her husband, and
captivated her wit his charming, unflappable personality. But Jane's
picturesque life came crashing down around her the morning she received
the news that her beloved aunt had been murdered. Slowly, astonishingly,
the evidence began to point to the last person Jane would ever believe
capable of such an act: Tom. As she began to comprehend the
unfathomable, the depth of his deceit grew, as she realized he had fled
with tens of thousands of dollars of her money, forcing her to sell her
possessions and move into a dilapidated old house. Their investigation
did not go unnoticed, however, and Tom O'Donnell would not allow himself
to be caught easily. Seeing as his original plan was to murder Jane as
well, he saw no reason not to carry out this act, thus removing the last
obstacle to the life he had plotted and murdered to obtain. With
everything and almost everyone telling her that her quest was futile,
and with a remorseless killer determined to take any action necessary to
remain free, time was not on Jane Alexander's side. In fact, she would
come to learn that very little was on her side at all.
