Bella loves men. She loves them to death . . . ________

Bella Sorensen loves men. She loves them to death . . .

Early in life Bella discovers the world is made for men. They own everything: property, jobs, wives. But Bella sees what few others do: where women are concerned, men are weak.

An unscrupulous woman can take what she wants. And so Bella sets out to prove she can be as ruthless and black-hearted as any man.

Starting with her husband Mads, Bella embarks on a killing spree the like of which has never been seen before — nor since.

And leaving kind, older sister Nellie to gaze in horror as Bella's schemes to enrich herself and cut down the male population come to terrible fruition . . .

Based on the true story of Belle Gunness whose killing spree began in Chicago in 1900, Triflers Need Not Apply is a novelistic tour de force exploring one woman's determination to pay men back for all they have taken. ________
