A ship's pilot legendary for guiding mammoth freighters
through the narrows of Puget Sound, Rolf Neslund was a
proud Norwegian, a ladies' man, and a beloved resident of
Washington State's idyllic Lopez Island. Virtually
indestructible even into his golden years, he made
electrifying headlines more than once: after a ship he was
helming crashed into the soaring West Seattle Bridge,
causing millions in damages; and following his inexplicable
disappearance at age 80. Was he a suicide, a man broken by
one costly misstep? Had he run off with a lifelong love? Or
did a trail of gruesome evidence lead to the home Rolf
shared with his wife, Ruth? On an island where everyone
thought they knew their neighbors, the veneer of the
Neslunds' marriage masked a convoluted case that took many
years to solve. And, indeed, some still believe that the
old sea captain will come home one day. "The Sea Captain"
is a classic tale as blood chilling as murder itself. Along
with six other equally riveting, detailed accounts of
destruction and murder committed without conscience or
regret, Ann Rule takes readers into frightening
places they never could have imagined in No Regrets.
