20th Anniversary Edition An intimate and investigative portrait of beloved Mexican American singer Selena Quintanillaβs murder by Emmy Award-winning journalist MarΓa Celeste ArrarΓ‘s. Now with a new foreword and afterword by the author for the 20th Anniversary Edition. There is no doubt that Yolanda SaldΓvar pulled the trigger and killed Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla PΓ©rez on March 31, 1995. But does anyone know what really happened in Room 158 of the Days Inn, moments before the crime took place? MarΓa Celeste ArrarΓ‘s has many answers, and her unrivaled coverage of the murder, trial, and aftermath made her the undisputed expert on the Selena case. ArrarΓ‘s shares firsthand information about the crime and the people involvedβincluding details of her headline-making jailhouse interview with Yolanda, who repeatedly spoke of βSelenaβs secretββa powerful hidden piece of information that she refused to divulge in the courtroom but revealed to ArrarΓ‘s 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 Selenaβs clothes at the murder scene? What was the significance of the jeweled ring, adorned with the initial S that fell from Selenaβs bloody fist? Who was the doctor from Monterrey who called himself Selenaβs confidant and business adviser? Selenaβs Secret fits together the pieces of this puzzle and depicts what really happened on that rainy day in March.
