Publisher Description

Twisted Triangle is the first complete narrative thriller about the sensational story of Margo Bennett, a married FBI agent who had a love affair with bestselling author Patricia Cornwell and whose jealous husband, Gene Bennet, a superstar FBI undercover agent, kidnapped and attempted to murder her. When the case first came to trial, it was reported in Vanity Fair, Newsweek, People, the Washington Post, and the New York Times. Almost every profile of Cornwell, written in the United States and abroad every time she releases a book, mentions this case and her relationship with Margo. Margo also was the inspiration for the heroine in Hostage Negotiator, a TV movie that came out in 2001.

Opening up for the first time, Margo Bennett has given Caitlin Rother complete personal access, sitting for interviews and turning over photographs, documents, records, and private papers. Twisted Triangle includes the crazy dynamics of Margo and Gene Bennett's family; the brilliant FBI undercover career of Margo's husband, Gene; the lesbian affair with celebrity author Pat Cornwell; Gene's reactive kidnapping and attempt to kill Margo; Gene's insanity defense; the trial that validates Margo's story and shows she was telling the truth all along; and a happy ending to her tale of survival.

"A great true crime novel, with Patricia Cornwell as one of the main people in the book. This shows how a narcissistic FBI #&*$(#&$(* treated and manipulated his family. What a jerk. "

    " What a horrible book. I do admit not finishing it because I got so annoyed by the people in this book. The wife pretended she was innocent while she wasn't and she was so dumb. Did not get really into it even though I did read 3/4th. I loved Caitlin Rother's other book so she can write. "

    " ehhh...My friend raved about how amazing this book was and how she could not put it down, but I was not so impressed. The case was semi-interesting, but I did not care for the author's writing style. Maybe the true crime genre is not for me? "
