On Christmas Day 1929, local Irish postman, Larry Griffin, disapeared. ""The story of the Missing Postman"" made headlines, and eventually ten prominent locals were arrested and charged with his murder, including the school teacher, the publican, Larry's wife, and two of their children. All 10 were acquitted and the case files sealed. Recently released, these files cast new light on the case and this extraordinary book weaves the pieces of the puzzle together, painting a sordid portrait of lies, half-truths, conspiracy, intimidation, and police brutality. ""O Drisceoil presents a compelling version of what may have happened. . . Essential for those interested in true crime mysteries.""-Library Journal ""Has it all-drama, intrigue and mystery as it uses newly available evidence to ask what really happened.""-Irish Voice
