This book changed everything I thought I knew about crime fiction' Belinda Bauer, bestselling author of Snap Years later, a writer undertakes the task of writing a book based on the case. This effort leads to further surprises.

The hamlet from which the girl disappeared is a small cluster of homes all belonging to a man who had recently inherited the homes, farms, land and manor - in short, everything that comprised Scardale. The case falls to a young, recently promoted detective who, under normal circumstances, would not be assigned to such an important case but the more senior detective can't walk due to an injury to his leg. It's quite a small office so the less experienced fellow, under the supervision of senior officer in the location, takes the case. This American-born, Irish-British Fascist had been tormenting the British public over the airwaves through his radio broadcasts that always began with the announcement… “Germany calling, Germany calling, Germany calling”.

Smoking in public places was more acceptable in the 1960s, but this still seems overdone. Since Texas became the first state to use lethal injection in 1982, states and the federal government have put about 1572 prisoners to death “by some version of the method,” according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
