Terrible typhoid Mary: a true story of the deadliest cook in America

In which Mrs. Warren has a servant problem

In which the Warrens get more than their just dessert

In which the usual suspects are questioned

In which an epidemic fighter hunts for a clue

In which the cook rules the kitchen

In which Mary walks more like a man than a woman

In which extraordinary and arbitrary powers are at work

In which Mary fights like a caged lion

In which Mary's bad behavior leads to her doom

In which there's some name calling

In which Mary is banished like a leper

In which Mary has her day in court

In which Mary learns to keep her germs to herself

In which it takes a squad of sanitary police

In which a weaker spirit might have been broken

Afterword, in which we consider the research and writing of Mary's life.
