Final Day - Paperback

by Ely North (Author)

Five decades. Three bodies. One lie.

North Yorkshire, May 1973. FA Cup Final day.

Across the country, families gather around their television sets-cheering, arguing, celebrating as the match kicks off.

On a remote farm in the Yorkshire Dales, a deadlier game is underway.

What officers discover when they arrive makes national headlines.

As police investigate, they hit a wall.

No one was there.

No one saw it happen.

No one agrees on the time.

The original investigation didn't fail to find an answer. It just found the wrong one.

Fifty-two years later, DI Prisha Kumar is handed the cold case file.

Thousands of statements. Conflicting alibis. A catalogue of police errors.

But her biggest problem is time, a long unforgiving stretch of it.

Even if she unearths the truth, a harder question remains-after five decades, is the killer still out there?
