When Nanine Case read the 1902 newspaper article about a distant relative, she never imagined it would launch her into a decades-long search across the globe. But what she uncovered wasn’t just a family mystery—it was a buried history of passion, survival, and a man who chose to live among warring tribes in the Marquesas Islands.

From missionary descendants to oral storytellers, Nanine followed every clue. What she found was a tale etched in tribal tattoos, dangerous customs, and forbidden desire. Some stories are forgotten for a reason. But Nanine was born to reveal the truth.

Om författaren
It all started in 1959 when a young Nanine peeked over her grandfather’s shoulder and spied a newspaper story titled Yankee Cannibal King.
Nanine has always loved adventure! She’s traveled the world capturing people and events with the lens. Her biggest adventure, though, was tracking down her ancestor’s story on the Marquesas Islands, a man who lived among cannibals in the 1800s.
Experience the nearly unchanged Polynesian Islands Nanine researched in order to bring her readers the incredible tale of the Cannibal King.
