Description
Starvation Heights: A Chilling True Story of Medical Malpractice and Murder. In 1911, two British heiresses, Claire and Dora Williamson, arrived at a health retreat in the village of Olalla, west of Seattle. The sanatorium promised a revolutionary fasting treatment that would restore their good health. However, within a month, they began to realise they were not patients but prisoners at the isolated sanitorium. Under the supervision of Doctor Linda Burfield Hazzard, Claire and Dora made desperate attempts to escape as they were starved and on the edge of death. Only one sister would ever make it out alive. This harrowing story is a testament to the cunning and dangerous doctor who manipulated her patients into believing her monstrous treatments would 'cure' them. A gripping true-crime account that will appeal to fans of The Five and The Devil in the White City, Starvation Heights is a shocking tale of medical malpractice and murder.
