Product Description
A hardcover first UK edition, Collins, 1974, of French journalist and author Jean Laborde's account of the Dominini case - examining the notorious brutal murder of all 3 members of the Drummond family in Provence in 1952.
The case garnered international media attention, and the accused, Gaston Dominici, was eventually quietly pardoned by De Gaulle, and died in 1965. The case, officially, remains unsolved.
Thus, the apparently random murder in August 1952 of the eminent British scientist Sir Jack Drummond, his wife Anne and their 10-year-old daughter Elizabeth during their holidays remains one of the most intractable crimes of the 20th century. In France, many consider the outcome of the case was a major miscarriage of justice.
