A British establishment figure. A shocking crime. A miscarriage of justice. The search for truth.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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 cause celebre in France and resulted in the swift conviction of a local farmer, but questions about Drummond's life and death remain unanswered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthews, Stephanie \u0026 Smith, Daniel","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52706941239635,"sku":"9781837730599","price":14.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":52707005595987,"sku":"XV81837730599","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/matthews-stephanie-smith-daniel-stephanie-matthews-the-drummond-affair-2025-1214367986.jpg?v=1767619416","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/stephanie-matthews-the-drummond-affair-2025","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
