1900, Chicago.
Bella Sorenson knows that the world is made for men.
They control everything: jobs, property, money. Marriage makes women like her their slaves.
But now Bella is fighting back.
Because she's angry. She's bloodthirsty. She's willing to kill to get what she wants - starting with her husband.
And then her next husband. And the next one . . .
