Description
A Serpent in Eden by James Owen In 1943, a brutal murder shook the Bahamas. Sir Harry Oakes, one of the world's richest men, was found dead in his bedroom after being burned alive and beaten to death. The crime scene was particularly gruesome, with bloody handprints on the walls and feathers from the victim's bed clinging to the charred corpse. The case drew international attention, involving a cast of characters including royalty, famous writers, and aristocrats. As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that nothing was as it seemed in Oakes' life or death. Owen's book offers a gripping account of this infamous crime and its aftermath. This true-crime story is a fascinating portrait of a glamorous and corrupt society, revealing the darker side of wealth and privilege.
