The speed queen

  • Stewart O'Nan

0 ratings

Marjorie Standiford sits on Oklahoma's death row, hours away from execution, speaking into a tape recorder, telling her life story. She's answering questions about how she became the Speed Queen, one of the Sonic Killers - how mainlining speed with her husband, Lamont, and her lover, Natalie, grew into dealing, how dealing grew into robbery, and robbery into mass murder.

She's telling her story because she wants to set the record straight, to correct the lies in Natalie's book, which became a bestseller.
