Follow along with the factors that led up to the murder of an elderly shopkeeper, then take a front-row seat for Eleanor's arrest, trial, conviction, and sentencing. With recently unearthed primary-source documents that include police records, court transcripts, and prison files, readers will then follow Eleanor through her prison years. Woven in are comparisons and contrasts between Eleanor's and her escape partner's criminal histories, as well as speculation on their lives on the lam. Whether Eleanor deserved her sentence, or if it was too harsh, is left for the reader to decide.
In Search of the Blonde Tigress: The Untold Story of Eleanor Jarman sets the mystery and intrigue of this wanted woman into historic context. It also includes her family's plea, in 1993, for Eleanor to come forward and apply for clemency. Most revealing at the time was Eleanor's alias. With that information (and given the fact that Eleanor, born in 1901, is obviously deceased), the author documents her search for Eleanor's remains—right up to a visit to her likely grave.”
