The Lost Boy

More about the book

The investigation into the Moors Murderers reveals a chilling truth: while Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were convicted for three murders, police knew of five victims. With access to Brady's unpublished autobiography and long-lost police files, Duncan Staff uncovers the failures that left families in unresolved grief, particularly for Keith Bennett and Pauline Reade. This updated edition not only highlights the injustice of the case but also calls for accountability in police actions regarding serial crimes, coinciding with a BBC documentary series.
