Gay Talese is a great storyteller.
However, there is something slightly off about the story, most fully exhibited by the lack of verification of the murder that Foss claimed to at least partially witness.
Also, there are some convenient events that sustain the narrative, such as the fact that he was able to follow one of the guests home and see her crying through the window.
One wonders if what Foss was telling him, however train-wreck compelling, was only about half true.
