About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.


New access to court documents and to Ian Brady's private files, shines new light on these crimes and the police investigation.

Detailing 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 sixty years—the book demonstrates exactly why the police should act on all the evidence when presented with serial crimes.

'As close to the definitive book on the subject as we are ever likely to read' Manchester Evening News
