In 1978 William Deverell he took a leave of-absence from his successful law practise in Vancouver, and moved to a custom-built log house on North Pender Island to do what most people spend their lives only talking about doing .... write a book. : He’s never looked back. His novel, Needles, won the $50,000 Seal First Novel Award in 1979; since then he’s published five other best-selling crime novels. He also wrote the pilot for and created the long-running CBC television series “Street Legal”. Fatal Cruise, his first book of non-fiction, is the true account of one of B.C.'s most intriguing murder trials. Itis the sad story of Robert Frisbee, a gentle homosexual man in his late 50s, accused of bludgeoning his wealthy employer, the elderly Muriel Barnett, with a quart of Famous |: Grouse scotch whiskey in an $18,000 penthouse aboard a cruiseship in |: Canadian waters (near Victoria). Frisbee had been the homosexual } slave of the victim's late husband, and stood to gain several million jf: dollars from her will. Frisbee, drunk, had no memory of committing the |: murder, and no means of proving he didn’t. After a three week trial, a jury convicted Frisbee of first degree murder. Deverell, who was defence counsel in the case, tells this complex and poignant story through the use of edited transcripts (interspersed with his own commentary), portions of psychiatric interviews with his client and personal correspondence. He also provides readers with a rare insight into how the defence was prepared and presented in court. The B.C. Court of Appeal subsequently reduced Frisbee’s conviction to second degree murder; in August next year he would have been eligible for day parole. Unfortunately, the decision didn't affect his life. He died in prison, of cirrhosis and liver cancer, a few weeks before Fatal Cruise was published.
