"Grips you by the throat from beginning to end."-- Cleveland Plain Dealer
ALONE WITH HER NEW HUSBAND on a tiny Pacific atoll, a young woman, combing the beach, finds an odd aluminum container washed up out of the lagoon, and beside it on the sand something glitters: a gold tooth in a scorched human skull. The investigation that follows uncovers an extraordinarily complex and puzzling true-crime story. Only Vincent Bugliosi, who recounted his successful prosecution of mass murderer Charles Manson in the bestseller Helter Skelter , was able to draw together the hundreds of conflicting details of the mystery and reconstruct what really happened when four people found hell in a tropical paradise. And the Sea Will Tell reconstructs the events and subsequent trial of a riveting true murder mystery, and probes into the dark heart of a serpentine scenario of death.
Palmyra Island -- The crime -- Justice -- Epilogue.
When a newlywed woman finds a scorched skull on a tiny island in the South Pacific, it begins a murder investigation full of conflicting details and puzzling complexities. Vincent Bugliosi reconstructs the events that led to the murder.
