About the book

"On 25 June 1828, the Mary Russell sailed into Cork harbour from the West Indies. Seven crew members lay in the main saloon, brutally and inexplicably murdered by the captain. Survivors revealed a tale of danger and delusion on the high seas ... The story of the Mary Russell was forgotten until Kathy Bunney located the grave of a murdered crewman. Now the facts of the case have been reconstructed. How would today's psychiatrists and courts view Captain Stewart's behaviour? A bizarre tragedy, its true story and dramatic court case are unravelled in this gripping account"--Page 4 of cover.
