A Thoroughly Wicked Woman, by Betty Keller, is a murder mystery based on a true story. On a foggy evening in 1905, Thomas Jackson returned to his home in Vancouver after striking gold in northern BC. Four days later he was dead from strychnine poisoning. What followed was a series of trials in the city�s courtrooms with fledgling lawyers trying to make their names in combat, and the newspapers locked in a deadly circulation war, all trying desperately to trump each other with juicy bits of information. In the end the two women served time in the BC Penitentiary, but not for the murder of Thomas Jackson.
