Author Description

There is no doubt about it: life is full of mystery. This compelling volume allows readers to peer into the uncovering of state and military secrets such as Watergate, North Korea’s purported nuclear bomb testing, and Wikileaks, as well as true crime cases, such as the search for the “Missing Earl.” Whether it’s Hollywood secrets like Rock Hudson’s shocking double life or the excavation of the ancient city of Teotihuacan, students will learn how great mysteries can be hidden—and in turn how they are revealed. Sidebars, a glossary, and books and websites in the further reading section are also included.
