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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephanie Matthews is a doctor who specialised in medical biochemistry and founded The Darwin Centre and \u003ci\u003eThe Young Darwinian\u003c\/i\u003e.
