A Perfect Murder Unravels
Rusty Sabich, a 60-year-old chief appellate judge, wakes to find his wife Barbara dead beside him. Twenty-three hours later, he finally allows his son Nat to call the authorities. This inexplicable delay immediately raises red flags for Tommy Molto, the prosecutor who unsuccessfully tried Rusty for murder twenty years earlier. Though Barbara's death initially appears to be heart failure, the peculiar timeline triggers immediate suspicion. Why would a seasoned legal professional knowingly compromise a death scene for nearly twenty-four hours? Even more disturbing is Rusty's insistence on sleeping next to his deceased wife's body, claiming a desire to "be with her one last time." The investigation gains momentum when a hotel security guard comes forward with testimony about Rusty's regular meetings with a significantly younger woman. Financial records reveal Rusty had been systematically withdrawing cash in amounts just under reporting thresholds. Medical records show STD testing-unusual for a supposedly monogamous married man-and consultations with a prominent divorce attorney occurred just weeks before Barbara's death. Most damning are Rusty's grocery purchases: aged wines, pickled herring, salamis, aged cheddar, and yogurt-all foods rich in tyramine that, when combined with Barbara's prescribed phenelzine (an MAO inhibitor), create a potentially lethal interaction triggering cardiac events. Only Rusty's fingerprints appear on Barbara's medication bottle. Has the man who eluded justice decades ago perfected the technique for the perfect murder?
