A British establishment figure. A shocking crime. A miscarriage of justice. The search for truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1952, in a peaceful corner of Provence, a farmer's son stumbled upon a terrible scene. Three bodies: a husband and wife shot dead, their ten-year-old daughter savagely beaten to death. They were all British. So begins one of the most notorious murder cases in French history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSir Jack Drummond was a senior advisor to the British government, a household name who was respected and admired. His fame made the case a cause célèbre in France and resulted in the swift conviction of a local farmer, but questions about Drummond's life and death remain unanswered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this bold new investigation, Stephanie Matthews and Daniel Smith strip away the prejudice and propaganda to reveal a grave miscarriage of justice. A light is shone on Drummond's secret life in the shadows of the Cold War, painting a portrait of an enigmatic man who may not have been the innocent holidaymaker he appeared to be, and recasting one of the twentieth century's most notorious murders in a fascinating and important new light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55485621764469,"sku":"9781837730599","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781837730599.jpg?v=1749721008","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9781837730599","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
