BEN & OLIVIA: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

Softcover. It is a mystery that transfixed a nation: the disappearance of Blenheim couple Ben Smart and Olivia Hope in the dark hours of New Year's Day, 1998. Witnesses reported dropping the pair off at a two-masted ketch, but detectives eventually arrested a man with a single-masted yacht. Scott Wilson was found guilty of their murder in September 1999, but for many people a burning question remains: did an innocent man go to jail, or is there far more to this case than meets the eye? For the first time, the authors bring a comprehensive review of the evidence both for and against. Illus. 197pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
