" Millions of television viewers heard Charles Stuart's frantic call that he made to police on his cellular phone. His beautiful wife, seven months pregnant, lay dying next to him in their BMW. Charles Stuart was seriously wounded. Stuart told police a terrifying story of an unknown assailant leaping into the car at a stoplight before shooting the couple. The outpouring of grief and sympathy for Charles Stuart came from every quarter--the media, public officials, the nation at large. But it was all a deadly hoax. Three months after the death of Carol Stuart and the son she carried in her womb, Charles Stuart discovered that police were about to arrest him for the double-murder. That night he leapt to his death in the Mystic River. In his wake he left a family in agony, a city in conflict, and an entire country asking, simply, why? What kind of monster hid behind the charming smile of Charles Stuart? Veteran journalist Ken Englade has written the first in-depth account of a murder that has fascinated the nation. He explores the questions that make the case at once so puzzling and so utterly compelling. -and-Michael: What's going to happen? Shelly: We're going to tell Mom and Dad. Michael: What are you going to tell them? Shelly: We're going to tell them we know that Chuck was involved. We're not going to tell them that he killed her. Michael: Yeah, right. Shelly: Okay. Michael: Wow. Shelly: I know, Mike. Get ready. It became apparent that Charles Stuart's terrible crime would soon be revealed. As each shocking clue surfaced, new mysteries emerged--frightening questions that demand answers before the hidden truth about that horrible night on Mission Hill can be revealed fully. Did Charles Stuart--known as "Chuck" to family and friends--actually pull the trigger, or was there in fact a third person who wielded the gun? Did Stuart leap voluntarily from Tobin Bridge to his death in the icy water below? Why have the police and the press been so unwilling to release important information about either the double murder or Stuart's alleged suicide? Murder in Boston is a relentlessly probing look at a crime that shattered two families--and stunned an entire nation.
