London England: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1979. Hardback. Anyone's Daughter. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. For the author, Patty Hearst's abduction was, as she says, 'the journalistic event of a lifetime'. The author sensed from the beginning that despite heavy newspaper and book coverage, the Hearst case was misconceived and misunderstood, and she grasped its relationship to what was occuring elsewhere in America as no one else did. In this book she has written about it (including every day of the trial) with a depth, a precisions, and an imaginative comprehension that bring the fantastic tale into focus for the first time. It is a drama of deep feeling, yet strangely it lacks a hero - and a heroine, too. Lastly, it is a media event: the abduction, trial, imprisonment and eventual freeing of William Randolph Hearst's granddaughter took place in public and were shaped by daily exposure in the press. The author's triumph is to reveal these profoundly American aspects of… Read More

London England: Constable, 2003. Hardback. Body of Evidence. The author gives a compelling account of the trial-making and breaking clues he uncovered during his long career as one of London's key forensic pathologists.
