Chosen by O, The Oprah magazine, as one of its top twenty best true
crime books of all time. 'A real-life page turner more intriguing
than anything on Netflix. The gripping story of a woman who turned
detective to track down her brother's killer - nearly four decades
after he was brutally murdered.' Matt Nixson, Mail on Sunday '[A
story] almost too mad to make up, too good not to tell and which
one day, no doubt, will be a film.' Ben Dirs, BBC World News '[A]
moving debut... This engrossing, heartbreaking story is sure to
appeal to true-crime fans'. Publishers Weekly The book that
inspired the successful BBC podcast Paradise In July 1978, two
bodies were discovered in the sea off Guatemala. They were found to
be the remains of Chris Farmer and his girlfriend Peta Frampton,
two young British graduates. Having been beaten and tortured, then
thrown, still alive, into the sea, their bodies had been weighted
down and dumped from the yacht on which they had been crewing. For
nearly forty years, no one was charged with these brutal murders.
This is the shocking and compelling story of how Chris's sister,
Penny, and her family tracked down his and Peta's killer. For
decades they painstakingly gathered evidence against Silas Boston,
the yacht's American owner, working alongside police in the UK and
the USA, as well as the FBI, until he was finally arrested and
charged with two counts of murder in 2016. Astonishingly, Penny was
able to track down Boston's son, whose bravery in testifying
against his own father was the key to bringing down Chris and
Peta's killer after so many years. Dead In The Water is the story
of a murder almost unimaginable in its cruelty and one ordinary
woman's unwavering determination to find justice for her brother.
