A British establishment figure. A shocking crime. A miscarriage of justice. The search for truth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1952, in a peaceful corner of Provence, a farmer's son stumbled upon a terrible scene. Three bodies: a husband and wife shot dead, their ten-year-old daughter savagely beaten to death. They were all British. So begins one of the most notorious murder cases in French history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSir Jack Drummond was a senior advisor to the British government, a household name who was respected and admired. His fame made the case a \u003ci\u003ecause celebre\u003c\/i\u003e in France and resulted in the swift conviction of a local farmer, but questions about Drummond's life and death remain unanswered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this bold new investigation, Stephanie Matthews and Daniel Smith strip away the prejudice and propaganda to reveal a grave miscarriage of justice. A light is shone on Drummond's secret life in the shadows of the Cold War, painting a portrait of an enigmatic man who may not have been the innocent holidaymaker he appeared to be, and recasting one of the twentieth century's most notorious murders in a fascinating and important new light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Icon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837730582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288","brand":"Stephanie Matthews, Daniel Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589880836277,"sku":"9781837730582","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bcf916d6-e457-4e3a-b71b-d6d976beaab7.jpg?v=1724733868","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-drummond-affair-murder-and-mystery-in-provence-9781837730582","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
