Book Description

A true crime suspense thriller of the horrific, excruciating death and murder of a millionaire, and haunting occurrences that actually happened. The true crime story is depicted the way it really happened and contains photos, testimony, depositions and recollections of real-life people. This true story contains sexual abuse, death, embezzlement, poison, premonitions, and spine-tingling accounts of unexplained phenomena that may seem like the stuff of soap operas.  However, these dastardly deeds and haunting occurrences actually happened.
A Texas Millionaire rancher discovers his wife and bookkeeper have stolen thousands of dollars from him. He demands the money back, but suddenly gets deathly ill after eating lunch with his wife and bookkeeper. He dies in the hospital from a mysterious and unknown illness that mystifies doctors. An anonymous caller notifies the police of arsenic poisoning.
The millionaire's ex-wife and mother of his only children becomes a sleuth to help solve his murder.  A
 bottle of arsenic is found in a storage locker. Can the ex-wife 
now trace this poison back to the murderer?
  • Readers who enjoy suspense, strong female leads, and crime drama, like Law and Order, will cling to every word of "Fighting the Devil". 
  • The inclusion of photos--exemplify the humanity of the characters in this drama.
  • * Those with weak stomachs are warned that this book contains graphic descriptions of slow death by poison.
  • Read this nail-biter with the lights blazing!

True Crime Book Reviews


This is the story of a woman who was physically and emotionally abused, yet when her abuser dies, she takes on the burden of solving his murder.
--Mary Crocco Reviews


Fighting the Devil was motivating and full of heart wrenching drama. It is truly inspirational and heartfelt, as well as a tearjerker.
--mysticthoughts

The book is engaging and keeps readers interest throughout. It is hard to put down. Although you have to wonder what the author's motive is - it soon becomes clear that THIS MURDER is a mystery that demands your attention. 
--Beyond The Bookshelf

From the Author

I am proud to announce my debut true crime book, "Fighting the Devil" is a 2011 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST in the True Crime genre and 2010 BOOK OF THE YEAR WINNER.
 
"Fighting the Devil" is a true story, depicted the way it actually happened with factual accounts, information and recollections.

The wicked and evil way my millionaire ex-husband was murdered prompted me to pen this true crime story. 

Strange, woeful occurrences of a dark supernatural being from the depths of hell shocked everyone in the search for justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a good book! May 6, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a big fan of true crime and saw this story on Snapped. I bought the book and was glad I did. It gave a unique perspective from the ex wife's eyes. She had every reason to hate this man but still had compassion for him and wanted to find out what happened for her children's sake. I thought this was an interesting book.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much More than I expected! March 13, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
At first blush, Fighting the Devil isn't what it appears to be. Reading the cover synopsis, I expected a true-life who-dunnit/mystery thriller. What I got was so much more. This novel is a beautiful, heart-wrenching, inspirational, and oftentimes harrowing memoir of the life of one of the bravest women I know: Jeannie Walker. Faced with living with a tyrant, she manages to find forgiveness in her heart, and love--the kind of love God has--for a person who treated her lower than dirt.

Yes, you will learn the details of the true-life murder of Jerry Eli Sternadel, but be prepared to be taken on an amazing life journey with a woman we'd all like to have for a sister.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never knew true crime could be this entertaining May 14, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I must admit that I purchased the book because I was interested in details of the crime. With in the first few chapters I found myself wrapped up in the story bigger than what I was expecting. Jeannie Walker kept me in suspense wanting to find out more about the story that with each page new questions developed. I truly carried the book around with me though out the day taking any open opportunity I had to read more. The fact it was true story just added to the chill to great writing.
