The Crimes of Margo Freshwater

When she was 18, Margo Freshwater fell in with a much older man, and together they blazed through a two-week long crime spree that ended with her sentenced to 99 years for murder. But then she escaped from prison…and vanished for the next three decades. As Margo built a life under a new name; investigators chased her ghost…
