[TowerTalk] Marconi + Murder

[WO0W]

It was a great novel.  I Googled the murder story and found several 
items, mostly news items but at least one item from police files, that 
lend credibility to that part of the novel.  However, I am not so sure 
that investors would have been quite so free with their money if Marconi 
had been as ignorant as Larson depicts him.  Can't be sure, though.  
More research is needed before I believe Larson's story.
