Unsolved Murder Body on the Beach: Starr Faithfull

By Ricky Indrawan

glamorous flapper. A powerful politician. A body on the beach.
Was it suicide, scandal-or something darker?

In June 1931, the body of 25-year-old Starr Faithfull washed ashore on Long Beach, New York. Her identity sparked a national media frenzy. To the tabloids, she was a tragic party girl. But behind the sensational headlines lay a story of deep trauma, buried abuse, and dangerous secrets connected to Boston's elite.

Shadows in the Surf is a gripping true crime investigation that reopens one of the most haunting unsolved deaths of the twentieth century. Through immersive storytelling and forensic precision, this book:

Reconstructs Starr's final days in cinematic detail

Unpacks corrupt police work, conflicting autopsies, and media spin

Exposes the secret hush-money deal tied to her childhood abuser

Presents competing murder, suicide, and blackmail theories side-by-side

Includes historical evidence, letters, timelines, and modern psychological insights

Perfect for fans of I'll Be Gone in the Dark, The Five, and The Journalist and the Murderer, this is not just a tale of death-it's a search for justice, voice, and the truth history tried to silence.

Step into the case. Follow the facts. Decide for yourself.
