«Soham: het verhaal achter een gruweldaad» is Nicci Gerrard's essay on the Soham case, published by Forum in hardback (127 pages, in Dutch).
In August 2002, two ten-year-old girls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, disappeared in Soham (England). The case gripped the country: after their bodies were found, the investigation focused on the school caretaker, Ian Huntley, convicted of murdering both, and his partner, Maxine Carr, for perverting the course of justice. Gerrard analyses the trial coverage, the role of the media and collective mourning as a social phenomenon.
Translation by Margot van Hummel; original work: «Soham: A Story of Our Times» (2004). Dutch edition of 2005.
For readers of non-fiction and true crime interested in how a real case can become a media phenomenon.
Nicci French is the pseudonym of English husband-and-wife team Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, who write psychological thrillers together.
