Abbott Kahler: Eden Undone, Gebunden

Klappentext

Amsterdam, July 1929
At nine o'clock in the evening, the SS Boskoop set sail carrying Friedrich, a Berlin doctor, his lover Dore and fifteen other third-class passengers, all crammed inside five dank cabins. Fleeing Europe's political and economic unrest, their final destination was the Galápagos Islands, where they hoped to create a utopian paradise.
Los Angeles, November 1934
The wire reports travelled 3, 000 miles across the Pacific and described a gruesome scene: on Marchena Island, a bleak and barren speck of land in the northern Galápagos, two mummified bodies are discovered - a man and a woman - both lying on their backs and barely recognisable from their long exposure to the elements Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the march to worldwide conflict, this compelling and haunting true story of adventure, obsession and murder uncovers the mystery of how they got there and who killed them.
