  Lesley Molseed was 11 when she was killed in 1975. Stefan Kiszko was falsely charged with her murder, and a future Home Secretary and a future Lord Chief Justice were among the barristers in court when he was wrongly convicted. He spent 16 years in gaol whilst his mother and aunt and a small team of supporters sought to overturn the miscarriage of justice, and their eventual success was followed by tragedy as first Kiszko and then his mother died, exhausted by the fight. Further tragedy affected the families of other children criminally abused by Lesley's unpunished killer. This book presents an account of the case.
