Who did it?

A personal story of the trials and tribulations of writing a true life crime book.

This talk deals with the issues encountered in researching two murders for a book that deals with the potential for miscarriages of justice concerning historical events. The book in question deals with two murders that took place in 1959 just thirteen miles apart in Lincolnshire. It also deals with the historical nature of generational poverty within a Grimsby family. That family is my family.
