Summary:

" The Mysterious Death of Jane Stanford is a well researched, fascinating read. Cutler makes a strong case for rethinking the official cause given for Jane Stanford' s death- heart disease. Cutler shows why physicians of the time were convinced by their diagnosis, how the coroner reached his verdict, and when the local detectives dropped their pursuit of the possible suspect. And he persuasively argues that they were all wrong." - Boyd G. Stephens, M.D., Chief Medical Examiner, San Francisco " The Mysterious Death of Jane Stanford, a graceful little hardcover that many say lays out the facts of the poisoning- and the subsequent spin-job- with such medical expertise and detail as to be irrefutable." - Lee Romney, Los Angeles Times
