The Lost Boy

£10.99

Now the basis of a major two-part documentary, broadcast on publication and then available on BBC iplayer, the full story of investigating 20th century Britain’s most horrifying serial murders. Detailing the full story of the Moors Murders, and the search for Ian Brady and Myra Hindley’s fifth victim, Keith Bennett, whose grave has never been found, this new edition of ‘The Lost Boy’ sets out the proof that the police always knew there were five victims, and that Brady and Hindley had a system – one decoded by officers at the time – by which they recorded where all their victims were buried. A call to action on behalf of his family and the families of all the victims, the people of Manchester and every person who has lived with this case – now for nearly 60 years – the book shows exactly why the police should act on all evidence when presented with serial crimes.

The Lost Boy is the compelling story of some of the twentieth-century’s most notorious crimes. Over more than twenty years, Duncan Staff has undertaken an exhaustive, and sensitive, exploration into all aspects of the murders committed by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley and their long-felt aftermath.

In a major new series for the BBC, The Moors Murders: A Search for Justice, he presents newly discovered documents and recordings of the infamous child serial killers. The series seeks to expose past errors while also uncovering startling new evidence which could be used to find the body of the final missing victim, Keith Bennett.
