True Crime from the Remote Villages and Farmlands of Rural Britain

von James Graywick

182 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The countryside hides its secrets deep in the soil.

Beyond the manicured hedgerows and postcard-perfect villages lies a darker Britain. In the isolated farmsteads and quiet market towns of the shires, silence isn't just a virtue-it's a shroud for the unthinkable.

In Silence of the Shires, James Graywick peels back the veneer of pastoral peace to reveal the most chilling crimes ever committed in the British countryside. This isn't the Britain of tourist brochures; this is a landscape of remote fields where screams go unheard and ancient hills that bear witness to modern atrocities.

Discover the dark history of the British Isles through ten notorious cases including:

- The Soham Murders: A tragedy that shattered the heart of a nation.- The Red Barn Murder: A 19th-century tale of deception and discovery.- The Witch Murder of Lower Quinton: Ritualistic horror in the rural heartlands.- The Chillenden Murders: A roadside nightmare that haunted the UK for decades.

From the "Red Barn" to the modern-day terror of the "Cannock Chase" predator, Graywick delivers a meticulously researched and atmospheric journey into the British true crime tradition. Perfect for fans of They Walk Among Us, Harold Schechter, and dark British history.

Are you ready to discover what the shires are hiding?

"A hauntingly vivid account of crimes that define the British landscape."
