Perfect Beauty: A Glamorous Socialite, Her Handsome Lover, and a Brutal Murder

Cynthia George was the stunning wife of one of Akron Ohio's most successful restaurateurs, and mother of seven. She flaunted her money, her body…even her extra-marital affairs. Until she got in too deep with Jeff Zack, her younger, longtime lover who was also the father of one of her children—a secret that she kept for many years. In a crime that shocked the heartland, Zack was killed, execution style, in the parking lot of a BJ's Wholesale Club in Akron. From the beginning, investigators suspected Cynthia was involved. Little did they know that her other lover was the murderer. John Zaffino knew about Cynthia's affair with Zack—and was jealous enough to do something about it…for good.
