Deric Henderson, Ireland Editor of the Press Association and the 2010 Northern Ireland Journalist of the Year, has spent two years investigating the background to this extraordinary story. He was in court for the sentencing of Colin Howell and was on the Press Bench throughout Hazel Stewart’s trial. He has carried out more than forty interviews with relatives, friends and associates of Colin and Lesley Howell, Trevor Buchanan and Hazel Stewart. He has examined the initial police investigation which failed to detect a crime, and he details how the affair embarrassed and then scandalized the Baptist Church. He has been all over this story since it broke and has produced the definitive account of the biggest murder case to hit the United Kingdom in many a year.
