20th Anniversary Edition An intimate and investigative portrait of beloved Mexican
American singer Selena Quintanilla’s murder by Emmy
Award-winning journalist María Celeste Arrarás. Now with a
new foreword and afterword by the author for the 20th
Anniversary Edition. There is no doubt that Yolanda Saldívar pulled the trigger
and killed Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla Pérez on
March 31, 1995. But does anyone know what really happened in
Room 158 of the Days Inn, moments before the crime took
place? María Celeste Arrarás has many answers, and her
unrivaled coverage of the murder, trial, and aftermath made
her the undisputed expert on the Selena case. Arrarás shares firsthand information about the crime and the
people involved—including details of her headline-making
jailhouse interview with Yolanda, who repeatedly spoke of
“Selena’s secret”—a powerful hidden piece of information
that she refused to divulge in the courtroom but revealed to
Arrarás at length. Many questions were raised, and not all were answered until
this revealing interview shed light on the crime. Why was there a suitcase filled with Selena’s clothes at the
murder scene? What was the significance of the jeweled ring,
adorned with the initial S that fell from Selena’s bloody
fist? Who was the doctor from Monterrey who called himself
Selena’s confidant and business adviser? Selena’s Secret fits together the pieces of this puzzle and
depicts what really happened on that rainy day in March.
