Product Information
On the morning of 14 January 1975, Mrs Dorothy Whittle awoke to be faced with every mother's worst nightmare: finding her daughter had been abducted from her room and a note left downstairs demanding a ransom. Later, a recorded message comes from Lesley herself in a telephone call saying where to leave the money but not to tell the police or she'll be killed. The family disobeys the instructions and informs the authorities, and together they struggle to understand and carry out their instructions in a complex cat and mouse game with one desperate aim: to get Lesley back alive. The recent release of Home Office papers allows the author to go behind the scenes and examine how a combination of bad luck and mistakes on the part of both the police and Donald Neilson stacked the odds against a successful end to one of the century's most despicable crimes, and what happened to Lesley as she lay naked and shackled by a steel noose at the bottom of a wet drainage shaft with a man in a black hood, the Black Panther, as her only contact with the outside world.

Good story
Although I have not yet finished reading the book it is apparent that there are a lot of references to what Leslie Whittle was thinking while she was being held hostage. The only person she was in contact with at the time was the black panther and I dont think she would have been telling him all her thoughts so where does this information come from? It is written more like a story rather than keeping to the actual facts. Apart from that it is an interesting read. It just makes me think how much of the other content is factual.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
