THE LAST THURSDAY IN JULY. The Story of Those Left behind.

Hardback. The author was the partner of Rachel Nickell who was brutally murdered in the summer of 1992 on Wimbledon Common in the presence of her 3-yr. old son. The death of this unknown mother in broad daylight and in what was considered a safe area, stunned the British public and established the murder as part of the national consciousness. The author, who was Rachel's partner, and the father of their child, Alex tells of how he was propelled into taking on full responsibility for the upbringing of a young child, whilst under the intense scrutiny of the media, and having to come to terms with his grief. We learn for the first time of the evidence that Andre and a child psychologist coaxed from Alex and the protracted search for Rachel's killer, which became one of the largest in British police history. 399pp. lge. 8vo. h/back.
