關於這本有聲書

'This is the book that puts all the evidence before the people' Jean-Pierre Gazeau, uncle of Sophie Toscan du Plantier

'An outstanding and compelling read' Micheál Martin TD

'A comprehensive and compelling collection of circumstantial evidence' Irish Times

Journalist Senan Molony was the first national crime correspondent on the scene of Sophie Toscan du Plantier's brutal murder in December 1996, ahead of a chain of events that would shock the nation.

The 2024 death of prime suspect Ian Bailey reopens the case for Molony, who goes behind the scenes to tell the full chilling story - from first seeing the Englishman as someone with impressive inside sources, to his moment of awakening at Bailey's arrest for a murder the suspect freely wrote about in the national press.

The book charts the astonishing early days of a doomed investigation and times thereafter as Bailey - a violent misogynist and pathological liar - escaped charge or trial in Ireland despite convincing evidence.

Including interviews with Sophie's family, key garda investigators, local witnesses and Bailey himself, it explodes commonly held myths and brings to light fresh and disturbing disclosures, amounting to damning proof of guilt.

'Fascinating read' Business Post

'Contains many intriguing new pieces of information' Sunday Independent

關於作者

Senan Molony is an award-winning journalist based in Dublin who works as a political correspondent for the Irish Independent. As crime correspondent with The Star, he was the first national specialist to arrive on the scene of the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder in 1996, where he was met by local journalist Ian Bailey, the newspaper's 'stringer', who later became the prime suspect in the case.
Molony was at the forefront of crime journalism in Ireland for many years, from covering the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin to giving evidence against the Gilligan gang in the Special Criminal Court. He has reported variously for the Evening Herald, Irish Daily Mail and Irish Independent on tribunals, trials and murder investigations in Ireland and Britain.
A 'Scoop of the Year' winner at the inaugural National Newspapers of Ireland Awards, he is author of bestselling book The Phoenix Park Murders about the infamous political assassinations of 1882. Senan has also written books about the Titanic, Lusitania and other ships, and devised and presented a number of television documentaries in Ireland, England and the United States.
A student of James Joyce and author of a book about Ulysses, he has long earned a living writing about politics at Leinster House.
