In 1973, Myra Hindley, the most notorious woman in Britain, was serving a life sentence for the Moors murders, a case that shocked the world. Behind bars, she fell in love. When Hindley was refused parole, she persuaded a sympathetic prison officer and former nun to help her break out of London's grim Holloway prison. The women planned to run away together to Brazil.
Twenty years after Hindley's death, this extraordinary true story is brought to life in vivid new detail by Howard Sounes, author of the true crime classic Fred & Rose. Drawing on unseen prison files and new interviews with former Holloway inmates, prison officers, and detectives, Sounes reveals the most wicked woman in Britain in new light. This Woman is an atmospheric prison story and a love story that will make readers think again about the woman behind the Moors murders.
Despite her part in the appalling murders of five children and teenagers, Myra Hindley is revealed as a highly complex woman of intelligence and charm. She used these qualities to get what she wanted. Or was she, as her supporters claimed, a misunderstood person who regretted her past and only attempted to escape out of desperation?
Revealing the most wicked woman in Britain in new light, This Woman is an atmospheric prison story and a love story that will make readers think again about the woman behind the Moors murders.
