Title: The Drummond Affair: Murder and Mystery in Provence Author: Daniel Smith, Stephanie Matthews Narrator: Ruth Lass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 2 minutes Release date: June 6, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: 1950s France. A British establishment figure. A shocking crime. A miscarriage of justice.The search for truth. In 1952, in a peaceful corner of Provence, a farmer's son stumbled upon a terrible scene. Three bodies: a husband and wife shot dead, their ten-year-old daughter savagely beaten to death. They were all British. So begins one of the most notorious murder cases in French history. Sir Jack Drummond was a senior advisor to the British government, a household name who was respected and admired. His fame made the case a cause celebre in France and resulted in the swift conviction of a local farmer, but questions about Drummond's life and death remain unanswered. In this bold new investigation, Stephanie Matthews and Daniel Smith strip away the prejudice and propaganda to reveal a grave miscarriage of justice. A light is shone on Drummond's secret life in the shadows of the C old War, painting a portrait of an enigmatic man, who may not have been the innocent holidaymaker he appeared to be, and recasting one of the twentieth century's most notorious murders in a fascinating and important new light.
