"Bob Bashara: husband, father, Rotary Club president and community leader. Bob Bashara: slumlord, philanderer and BDSM enthusiast. Jane Bashara lived in Grosse Pointe Park, one of Metro Detroit<U+2019>s wealthiest communities, when she was strangled to death in her own garage by local handyman Joe Gentz. When Joe turned himself in, he told the cops everything, including how he was hired for a hit by Jane<U+2019>s husband. His payment: $2,000 and a used Cadillac. Born into one of Michigan's elite families, Bob was sweeping out the back alley of a property he owned when his wife was being killed. He made sure the bartenders at the Hard Luck Lounge saw him there at the time of her murder. He'd often brought girlfriends by the same bar, and for the last year had been seen with one Rachel Gillett -- riding around town in her convertible, even showing up at BDSM events in the suburbs of Detroit. When Joe Gentz confessed, his low IQ and barfly reputation made him less than credible. Bob successfully denied any part in his wife's murder. But he couldn't deny his attempt to have Joe killed in prison"--Provided by publisher.
