Publisher Description

Omaha, Nebraska, 1978.

Sandy Johnson was in shock. Her husband, Duane, and young daughter, Sherrie, were violently ill when word arrived that her infant nephew just died of mysterious causes. Days earlier, the entire family was happy, healthy, and living the American dream. Now they were at the center of a terrifying medical crisis.

Duane soon died in a condition unlike anything the doctors had ever seen. As they raced to discover what disease or toxin could have done so much damage so quickly, Lt. Foster Burchard of the Omaha police began to suspect foul play. Sandy herself became a primary suspect, as did her ex-boyfriend Steven Harper—a man prone to violence who never got over their breakup.

In Toxic Love, investigative reporter and true crime author Tomás Guillén offers a detailed and vivid account of this baffling case from the day of the poisoning to the harrowing trial and the murderer's eventual suicide on death row.

    " Toxic love is a very slow moving true crime book. It tells a very unique story the few fiction writers could tell a more insane, bizarre story. Steven's childhood accident was unfortunate, but what was more unfortunate was that he put a cancer drug in a pitcher not knowing who might drunk out of it. Sadly, an infant and pets die as a result of this whack job. Crazy story, but worth the read. "
