Full Description
From
the author of best seller, Ruxton: The First Modern
Murder, comes another deep dive into one of the most notorious
cases in Scottish Criminal History.
Tom
Wood's The
World's End Murders: The Inside Story is a new look at a
well-known story.
In
this book, Wood offers the detailed analysis only one of the original
investigators could give, and reveals how over nearly four decades, detectives
and scientists struggled to deliver justice.
The
horrific killing of two Edinburgh teenagers in October 1977 sparked a
nationwide manhunt that turned into one of Britain's longest and most famous
murder investigations.
The
book tells the story of two innocent young girls, Helen Scott and Christine
Eadie, and of the extraordinary police investigation over almost four decades
that eventually led to the discovery of links to their deaths with Angus
Sinclair, one of Scotland's most notorious murderers and sex offenders.
Acquitted after a controversial trial in 2007, changes in the law and new,
cutting-edge forensic evidence meant that Sinclair found himself in the court
again, and in 2014 he was finally held to account for the notorious World's End
murders.
But
this is not a gruesome tale of violent death - the families of Helen and
Christine have suffered long enough. It is a story of heroes - of the families
of the two girls who, with quiet dignity, have carried an unimaginable burden
down the years, and of the police officers, the support staff and the
scientists who persisted in their investigations and never gave up. This is the
inside story of the World's End murders."
