Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A casino heir. A fortune buried beneath the Nevada desert. A death that refused to remain an overdose.On September 17, 1998, Ted Binion-son of legendary Las Vegas casino figure Benny Binion-was found dead inside his home.Ted had struggled with heroin addiction for years. At first, there seemed to be an obvious explanation for his death.Then something happened in the Nevada desert.Within days, attention turned to an extraordinary fortune Ted had hidden underground: tens of thousands of pounds of silver, rare coins, and other valuables secured inside a reinforced vault near Pahrump.And investigators began looking at his death differently.What followed exposed a world of casino wealth, secret relationships, disputed medical evidence, conflicting testimony, and millions of dollars buried beneath the desert.As detectives reconstructed Ted's final days, suspicion began to settle around two people close to the story: Sandy Murphy and Rick Tabish. Prosecutors eventually presented a murder theory built not around a confession or an eyewitness, but around a web of circumstantial evidence.A jury would have to decide what that evidence meant.But the first verdict would not be the end.In The Ted Binion Murder Case: Death, Greed, and Buried Silver, Linda Davidson reconstructs the investigation, courtroom battle, and extraordinary legal aftermath while carefully separating documented fact from allegation.At the center of it all remained one deceptively simple question: Was Ted Binion the victim of his own addictions-or had someone made certain he would never wake up?The courts would confront that question more than once.And the answers would not remain the same.
