On a national holiday in 1935, crowds gathered at a Sydney aquarium to marvel at a newly captured tiger shark. Awe quickly turned to horror when the predator regurgitated a human arm; perfectly preserved and bearing a distinct tattoo. Forensics would reveal the limb wasn't bitten off, but rather removed with a sharp tool. Further clues led police into a tangled web of fraud, murder, and conspiracy.
