520    Ugly Prey tells the riveting story of poor Italian 
       immigrant Sabella Nitti, the first woman ever sentenced to
       hang in Chicago, in 1923, for the alleged murder of her 
       husband. Journalist Emilie Le Beau Lucchesi leads readers 
       through the case, showing how, with no evidence and no 
       witnesses, Nitti was the target of an obsessed deputy 
       sheriff and the victim of a faulty legal system. She was 
       also-to the men who convicted her and reporters fixated on
       her-ugly. For that unforgiveable crime, the media painted 
       her as a hideous, dirty, and unpredictable immigrant, 
       almost an animal. Featuring two other fascinating women-
       the ambitious and ruthless journalist who helped demonize 
       Sabella through her reports and the brilliant, beautiful, 
       23-year-old lawyer who helped humanize her with a 
       jailhouse makeover-Ugly Prey is not just a page-turning 
       courtroom drama but also a thought-provoking look at the 
       intersection of gender, ethnicity, and class within the 
       American justice system.
