The Secret of Selena by Arraras
20th Anniversary EditionAn intimate and investigative portrait of beloved Mexican American singer Selena Quintanilla's murder by Emmy Award-winning journalist Mar a Celeste Arrar s. Now with a new foreword and afterword by the author for the 20th Anniversary Edition. There is no doubt that Yolanda Sald var pulled the trigger and killed Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla P rez on March 31, 1995. But does anyone know what really happened in Room 158 of the Days Inn, moments before the crime took place? Mar a Celeste Arrar s has many answers, and her unrivaled coverage of the murder, trial, and aftermath made her the undisputed expert on the Selena case. Arrar s shares firsthand information about the crime and the people involved--including details of her headline-making jailhouse interview with Yolanda, who repeatedly spoke of Selena's secret--a powerful hidden piece of information that she refused to divulge in the courtroom but revealed to Arrar s at length. Many questions were raised, and not all were answered until this revealing interview shed light on the crime. Why was there a suitcase filled with Selena's clothes at the murder scene? What was the significance of the jeweled ring, adorned with the initial S that fell from Selena's bloody fist? Who was the doctor from Monterrey who called himself Selena's confidant and business adviser? Selena's Secret fits together the pieces of this puzzle and depicts what really happened on that rainy day in March.
