The Rotherham Trunk Murder: Uncovering An 80 Year Old Miscarriage Of Justice

When she was a child, the author’s grandma told her a secret about a murder committed by somebody that she knew.Reading a local history book in 2014, the author was shocked to find that a man called Andrew Bagley was hanged for the sexual assault and murder of 16 year old Irene Hart in 1936. That was not the person that her grandma had named as the killer.“In her fascinating first book, the author argues that Bagley was innocent. She examines the evidence in forensic detail, asks questions that should have been asked at the trial, exposes a scandalous cover-up at the London appeal court and in the final chapters, points an accusing finger at the person she believes was the real murderer.”NOTTINGHAM POST: MARCH 2016
