REAL HARD CASES Unsolved Crimes Reinvestigated

Hardback. Promotional edn. Some serious crimes are open-and-shut cases, what the cops call no-brainers, but others - the 'Real Hard Cases' - remain either unsolved or with serious doubts hanging over them. Sometimes for years. Now, after a legendary crime-fighting career, former Glasgow detective Les Brown reinvestigates some of the hardest cases around and come up with some startling conclusions. These mysteries range from London to Wick, from Glasgow and Ayrshire to Inverness. Like the strange story of Innes Ewart - did this young Scot really throw himself to his death or has someone got away with murder? And the curious case of Kevin McLeod, found dead at the bottom of Wick harbour - did he fall or was he pushed? These and many other intriguing unsolved cases, such as those of Renee MacRae and young victims, Moira Anderson, Tracey Waters and Pamela Hastie, are examined in detail. Many of these new investigations have been requested by the families of the victims - families who have suffered the anguish and heartache of not knowing the truth about how their loved ones died. Now the authors set out to find new evidence to help to finally crack some real hard cases. Illus. in colour. 124pp. small 8vo. h/back. F. in F. dw. Scarce.
