"On 25 June 1828, the Mary Russell sailed into Cork harbour from the West Indies. Seven crew members lay in the main saloon, brutally and inexplicably murdered by the captain. Survivors revealed a tale of danger and delusion on the high seas ... The story of the Mary Russell was forgotten until Kathy Bunney located the grave of a murdered crewman. Now the facts of the case have been reconstructed. How would today's psychiatrists and courts view Captain Stewart's behaviour? A bizarre tragedy, its true story and dramatic court case are unravelled in this gripping account"--Page 4 of cover.
