Description

Handmade in the USA by Peggy Karr Glass, this collectible art glass plate is both beautiful and practical - perfect for entertaining and as a stand-alone piece of art. The beautiful pattern - featuring a regal moose poised near a mountain stream - is actually embedded within the glass, not applied to the surface. Using a series of complex stencils, powdered enamel pigments are hand-applied between two layers of recycled glass and kiln-fired at over 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The process fuses the glass and pigments together, permanently sealing in the design. The result is a beautiful, durable, food-safe serving piece that is microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Every piece of Peggy Karr glass is signed and dated by Peggy Karr Studio. Due to their hand-crafted nature, each piece has a unique character of bubbles and surface texture and may vary slightly in size. This plate measures approximately 10 inches square. The glass is untempered and therefore not for oven use. Avoid contact with extremely hot food. Please note that use of harsh dishwashing detergents and hard water may cause clouding. Choose from a wide variety of patterns, shapes and sizes. Peggy Karr Glass - functional art at its finest.

Description

Many of us have had neighbors whose loud music, objectionable habits, or destruction of property get on our nerves. This is the story of a man who got so annoyed, he poisoned his neighbors with an extremely painful nerve toxin. The personalities are what make the book: the cartoon-character nerd who was a disgruntled househusband to a female orthopedist, the quietly charming policewoman who went undercover to get the goods on him, the loving Southern family who suffered so much. And there's a revelation at the end of the story that will appall you. As the New York Times wrote, "Florida, the cradle of creepiness in detective fiction, offers up some weird criminals in real life, too.... The authors are good at portraying the oddly disconnected society of small-town Florida, as well as the man who almost committed the perfect crime there."

Doctors were baffled when warmhearted Peggy Carr was rushed to the hospital with fiery burning sensations. Days later her two sons fell ill with the same horrifying symptoms. As Peggy lay writhing in an agony of slow death, the doctors' bewilderment turned to horror when they discovered the three had ingested massive doses of the fatal chemical thallium. But how were they poisoned? And by whom?Soon, the FBI's psychological profile pointed to the family's next door neighbor, George Trepal, an eccentric computer whiz and member of the high I.Q. club, Mensa. But why would a man who was married to a doctor and seemed to be living a normal life commit such a cold-blooded act? And how did he do it without leaving any evidence? It was a crime so brilliantly concealed, police feared he might get away with it. Now it was up to policewoman Susan Goreck to go undercover--an enter the twisted mind of a sadistic psychopath.
