Synopsis

A classic Golden Age mystery inspired by a real-life murder case from the 1920s.

When a woman’s body is found burned beyond recognition in the marsh near El Cerrito, journalist Peter and clinical psychologist Dr. Cavanagh are eager to uncover her identity and find out what happened to her.

Cavanaugh’s forensic discoveries tie the corpse to missing wife of a millionaire, and Peter has to use all of his craft and charm as a reporter to coax out any secrets the couple may have been hiding.

The Tule Marsh Murder was inspired by a real murder case, and Dr. Cavanaugh is based on the pioneering forensic criminalist Edward Oscar Heinrich who became known as 'America’s Sherlock Holmes'. Nancy Barr Mavity’s mystery novels were groundbreaking in their use of science in the detection of crime.
