A recent bestselling nonfiction book by Erik Larson, ''Thunderstruck,'' tells the interleaved stories of Marconi's development of radio and a famous real murder case, the [[Crippen]] murder. The stories converge because Crippen and his mistress believed they were safely escaping from England on an ocean liner. They were unaware that the captain of the ship suspected them and had radioed back to London. Crippen would chat at dinner with the captain, totally unaware that the Marconi operator was in touch with the British police, that a detective had boarded a faster ocean liner and was chasing Crippen, and that millions of people were reading about the chase in newspapers every day.
