Matt Nixson, Mail on Sunday  '[A story] almost too mad to make up, too good not to tell.' Ben Dirs, BBC World News   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.  Chosen by O, The Oprah magazine, as one of its top twenty best true crime books of all time.  '[A] moving debut... This engrossing, heartbreaking story is sure to appeal to true-crime fans'.

In 1978, two tortured corpses — hooded, bound, and weighted down with engine parts — were found in the sea off Guatemala. Junior doctor Chris Farmer and his girlfriend, Peta Frampton, were still clinging to life when they were thrown from the yacht they'd been crewing. Here is the gripping account of how Chris's family worked alongside police, the FBI, and Interpol to gather evidence against the boat's Californian skipper, Silas Duane Boston. Almost four decades later, in 2015, Chris's sister, Penny, used Facebook to track down Boston.   Following the detailed, haunting testimony of his own two sons — who also implicated their father in a string of other killings — Boston was finally arrested and charged with two counts of maritime murder. A story of homicide on the high seas, Dead in the Water is also a tale of a family's fortitude and diligence in tracking down a monster.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50718089347345,"sku":"CIN1635766192G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041629405457,"sku":"NIN9781635766196","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53188260790545,"sku":"CIN1635766192VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1635766192.jpg?v=1751151863"},{"product_id":"dead-in-the-water-my-forty-year-search-for-my-brother-s-killer-cd-9781982639907","title":"Dead in the Water","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this shocking, heart-wrenching true-crime drama, a forty-year-old double murder brings together a grieving family and two brothers-just kids when they witnessed their father commit the brutal act-to track down a psychopath once suspected as being the Golden State Killer \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1978, two tortured corpses were discovered in the sea off Guatemala.
