INDICTMENT TRIAL BY FIRE The Ice Cream Wars and the Truth Behind a Shocking Miscarriage of Justice.

Hardback. On the night of April 26, 1984, six members of the Doyle family died in horrendous circumstances as their home in Bankend Street, Glasgow blazed. The fire was deliberately set. 'Victims of the Ice Cream Wars' screamed the media. Public outrage ran high. The pressure was on the police to catch the killers and punish them for this atrocity. When T.C. Campbell and Joseph Steele were found guilty of this terrible mass murder, it concluded a media and police witch-hunt that had begun months earlier. But as this books makes transparently clear, T.C. Campbell was 'guilty' before the trial started, the victim of a miscarriage of justice that is all the more chilling because of the manner in which justice was willfully perverted. This book, written from his cell in Shotts Prison and co-authored with acclaimed investigative journalist Reg McKay, documents in disturbing detail the farcical manner in which Campbell and Steele were 'tried' and the ongoing quest by Campbell to exonerate his name. Illus. + Epilogue. 357pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in Vg+ dw.
