Mortal Danger - Anne Rule - Ann Rule's Crime Files:Vol 13

Been meaning to ask since I came here ---

I bought this book at Kennedy Airport last December to read on the plane.

So, but the end of the flight I realised that there was a whopper of an error --

the back blurb said the cases included "that of the woman wo who masterminded her husband's murder to gain his inheritance..."

There was no such case in the book!!!!!

Okay, I've often seen really bad errors in blurbs, but this was the biggest evah.

I wrote to Pocket Books, assuming they would send me a new copy, but they didn't even reply! (I was sure that either reprinted the book with that case or changed the blurb) but they didn't even reply with an I'm sorry.

So, does anyone have this with the same error on the blurb? Or a re-edition with the blurbed case in the book?
