The body of Julia Wallace was found in her Liverpool home on one terrible night in January 1933, her head crushed by violent blows, the identity of her killer a mystery. Her husband William was accused, tried and convicted and sentenced to hang for murder, but he was then acquitted in a sensational appeal court judgement. Yet the police refused to reopen their investigation. So who did kill Julia? When Roger Wilkes started researching a dramatised radio documentary for Liverpool's Radio City, he uncovered new evidence which suggested a disturbing story ? a crucial witness ignored by the police, and even a suggestion of a deliberate cover-up. Finally, Wilkes provides compelling evidence as to the identity of the real killer. With chronology of events, chapters include A Conspiracy of Silence, The Wallace Diaries, Wallace's First Statement to the Police and Comments by Raymond Chandler who once said: 'The Wallace case is unbeatable, it will always be unbeatable.' P. D. James said of this book: 'It is a formidable, indeed a damning indictment, and Wilkes presents the result of his detective work with journalistic panache.' Deep in psychology and with 25 rare archive photos. 338pp, paperback.
