Shortlisted for the Crime Writers' Association's Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CRIME WRITER'S ASSOCIATION GOLD DAGGER AWARD FOR NON-FICTION. In September 1970, two boys met in the playground on their first day at secondary school in North London. They formed what would be described at the Old Bailey thirty years later as `a unique and wicked bond'. Between 1982 and 1986, striking near lonely railway stations in London and the Home Counties, their partnership took them from rape to murder. Three police forces pooled their resources to catch them in the biggest criminal manhunt since the Yorkshire Ripper Enquiry. A Dangerous Place is the first full-length account of the crimes of John Duffy and David Mulcahy. Told by the son of one of the police officers who led the enquiry, exhaustively researched and with unprecedented access, this is the story of two of the most notorious serial killers of the twentieth century and the times they operated in. It is the story of the women who died at their hands. It is the story of the women who survived them, and who had the courage to ensure justice was done. And it is the story of a father, told by a son.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The first book to tell the story of The Railway Murders, a famous case that spawned the biggest manhunt in Britain since the search for the Yorkshire Ripper 'The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.' (Albert Einstein) 'A Dangerous Place' recounts the story of The Railway Murders, a case which yielded the biggest manhunt in Britain since the search for the Yorkshire Ripper, and one which made none of the same mistakes. It was a case that changed criminal history. Three women were murdered and sixty women raped near isolated railway stations in the Home Countries in the 1980s. Despite proposals from on high to close down an apparently unsolvable case, dogged determination, the use of new computer technology and, for the first time in Britain, offender profiling, eventually saw not one but two men brought to justice. One of the detectives who led the enquiry was my father. This is a story of him and his kind, and how his last case before retirement took its toll on both him and his family. As he once told me, 'all that is required for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing'. AUTHOR: Simon Farquhar is a playwright and journalist, whose first full-length play, 'Rainbow Kiss', played at the Royal Court Theatre in London and has since run in New York and Rome. Other stage plays include 'Dream Me a Winter' for the Old Vic 24 Hour Plays Gala. He writes for The Guardian and The Independent. SELLING POINTS: . Told from the unique perspective of the son of the lead detective, and is very much told through the eyes of a curious teenager . The case saw the birth of offender profiling in the UK . The 30th anniversary of the case is in 2016 20 b/w illustrations A Dangerous Place is the first full-length account of the crimes of John Duffy and David Mulcahy. Told by the son of one of the police officers who led the enquiry, exhaustively researched and with unprecedented access, this is the story of two of the most notorious serial killers of the twentieth century and the times they operated in.
