Introduction

A true crime account of the arrest, murder trial, conviction and incarceration of Manchester, England's notorious child murderers.

Continuation of the Series

The second book published in this series carries on from where The Moors Murderers left off and continues the horrific story of the crimes perpetrated by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

Brady and Hindley's Trial

In this volume, we learn what happened at Brady and Hindley's trial in 1966. We see how Brady and Hindley turned on David Smith, the seventeen-year-old who witnessed them murder Edward Evans and turned them into the police the following day, by attempting to implicate him in their murders. This led to him being an almost daily victim of assaults by both locals and members of the victims' families.

Myra Hindley's Prison Escape and Manipulation

The book tells the full story of the depths Myra Hindley went to in order to affect her escape from prison in 1973, how she eventually turned on Ian Brady and how she manipulated her way through her prison sentence until the day she died. It also shows how Ian Brady tormented the families of the victims from his prison cell.

Recovery of Victims' Remains and Search for Keith Bennett

It tells the full story of how the body of Pauline Reade was recovered from Saddleworth Moor and also of the search for Keith Bennett, who to this day remains unfound.
