Description

In 1952, a shocking crime shook a peaceful corner of Provence, France. A farmer's son stumbled upon three bodies: a husband and wife shot dead, their ten-year-old daughter brutally beaten to death. The victims were all British, and the case would become one of the most notorious in French history. Sir Jack Drummond, a senior advisor to the British government, was a household name who was respected and admired. However, questions about his life and death remain unanswered. A new investigation into the case, written by Stephanie Matthews and Daniel Smith, sheds light on the prejudice and propaganda that surrounded Drummond's conviction. This book reveals a grave miscarriage of justice and paints a portrait of an enigmatic man who may not have been the innocent holidaymaker he appeared to be. By stripping away the myths and misconceptions, Matthews and Smith recast one of the twentieth century's most infamous murders in a fascinating and important new light.
