The Dominici Affair: Murder and Mystery in Provence

More about the book

The brutal murders of a British family in rural France in 1952 sparked a notorious investigation that still captivates public debate. Sir Jack Drummond, his wife Lady Anne, and their daughter Elizabeth were found dead after camping near a farm. Gaston Dominici, the farm's elderly owner, was convicted and sentenced to death, embodying the era's perceptions of rural ignorance. Over time, views shifted, leading to his release and a romanticized image of his life. The Dominici Affair delves into this complex case while exploring the societal transformations in postwar France.
