Description
Behind one of the greatest tragedies in UK policing history lies a shocking political scandal. On 17 April 1984, automatic gunfire rained down on demonstrators outside the Libyan embassy in London, killing WPC Yvonne Fletcher. Her colleague, PC John Murray, made a promise to her that he would not rest until those responsible had been brought to justice. Thirty-seven years later, Matt Johnson uncovered a web of secret-service deals, government duplicity, and intelligence agency actions that led to Yvonne's killers being allowed to go free. This account pulls together seemingly unconnected threads to reveal a coherent and shocking whole, shedding light on how decisions by politicians and intelligence agencies may not always be in the public interest.
