And the Sea Will Tell is a true crime book by Vincent Bugliosi and Bruce B. Henderson. The nonfiction book, a New York Times #1 hardcover bestseller and still in print as a trade paperback, recounts a double murder on Palmyra Atoll and the subsequent arrest, trial and conviction of Duane Walker, and the acquittal of his girlfriend, Stephanie Stearns, whom Bugliosi and Leonard Weinglass defended. The book was published in 1991 and adapted into a CBS television mini-series starring James Brolin, Rachel Ward, Hart Bochner and Deidre Hall that same year. Richard Crenna played Bugliosi, who... acted as narrator. The story is told from the perspective of Stearns, with additional facts corroborated by other witnesses. In 1974, a yachting couple from San Diego, California, Malcolm "Mac" Graham III, 43, and Eleanor LaVerne Graham, 41, sailed to Palmyra – 1200 miles south of Honolulu – hoping to find it deserted and to pass an idyllic year or more there.
