Description
The Long Silence: The Story of James Hanratty and the A6 Murder by Valerie Storie For the first time, Valerie Storie reveals the harrowing details of the infamous A6 Murder, which took place 60 years ago. In 1962, Valerie and her fiancé Michael were the victims of gunman James Hanratty, who left them for dead in a lay-by on the A6 in Bedfordshire. Valerie survived, but was paralysed and in a wheelchair until her death in 2016. Valerie's account of the five-hour ordeal is a chilling and intimate account of the cat and mouse game she and Michael played with Hanratty, who was eventually hanged in 1962. Valerie's decision to write about her experiences was motivated by a desire to set the record straight, and to ensure that justice was served. This book is Valerie Storie's posthumous autobiography, offering a unique and powerful perspective on one of the UK's most infamous crimes.
