The book is about Dr. Hawley Crippen, a murderer and Guglielmo Marconi, the creator of ship to shore communication and the tie between the two. I have to admit, I was more interested in Crippen and what motivated him to murder his wife. This non-fiction book, like the other Larson novel, The Devil in White City, is well researched. I really enjoyed White City more since it was about turn of the century Chicago, my hometown. But if you are into novels of a historical nature and focused on the killers of those times, you'll enjoy an Erik Larson book.
