It's described as 'a chronological account of the case so far, based on articles that have appeared in the Daily and Sunday Express newspapers'. Interesting cover I thought.

There are only 11 reviews on Amazon, most of which slate the author for trying to line her own pockets by filling a book with speculative nonsense as so little was known at the time of publishing.

I thought it was written by Robert Downing [male?]. I was interested because the same cover was used by Kate McCann later. All the books on the subject have been speculative, so that's not really a valid criticism.

The book was based solely on stories in the Daily and Sunday Express, so might be interesting as an account of how the story evolved in those newspapers. So many stories are hard to find now. As it's only 1p I've ordered it, so I'll let you know.

If anyone does have a PDF copy of the book or a link to a digital copy please let me know so that it can be added to the private library.
A malicious prosecution for a crime which never existed. An exposé of egregious malfeasance by public officials.

Vanished by danny collns is better as it includes actual witness statements from the night that he talked to
