In 1974, Eddie Dunford becomes a crime correspondent for the Yorkshire Evening Post, covering a series of disturbing incidents in Yorkshire, including a dead little girl with swan's wings stitched into her back.

Jeanette Garland, who vanished from Castleford in July 1969, Susan Ridyard, who went missing from Rochdale in March 1972, and Claire Kemplay, who has been missing from Morley since yesterday, are just a few of the missing persons cases that have been in the news recently. In addition, there have been reports of Christmas bombs and the escape of Lord Lucan, as well as the popularity of Leeds United and the Bay City Rollers, the release of The Exorcist and It Ain't Half Hot Mum. It's winter in Yorkshire in 1974, and Eddie Dunford has landed the job he's always dreamed of: crime correspondent for the Yorkshire Evening Post. Little did he know that this would be a season in hell. One of the cases he's assigned to cover is the mysterious death of a young girl, who is found with swan's wings stitched into her back.

In 1974, David Peace brought the passion and stylistic bravado of an Ellroy novel to this terrifyingly intense journey into a secret history of sexual obsession and greed, and he started a highly acclaimed crime series that has redefined how the genre is approached. The book is a masterpiece of storytelling, with its intricate plot, memorable characters, and vivid descriptions of the Yorkshire landscape. It is a must-read for anyone who loves crime fiction and is interested in exploring the darker side of human nature.

Overall, In Nineteen Seventy Four is a gripping and atmospheric novel that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. It is a testament to David Peace's talent as a writer and his ability to create a compelling and unforgettable story. Whether you are a fan of crime fiction or just looking for a powerful and thought-provoking read, this book is sure to impress.
