Penance

Nearly a decade after the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Joan Wilson in a seaside town, journalist Alec Z. Carelli has written the definite account of the crime. A dizzying feat of investigative mastery, Carelli's book is built on hours of interviews with witnesses and family members, painstaking historical research and most notably, correspondence with the killers themselves. The result is a riveting snapshot of lives rocked by tragedy and a town left in turmoil. The only question is: how much of this story is true?
