A thirty year old murder case and a possible wrongful conviction,
Disordered Minds is the mystery thriller from crime queen Minette
Walters. In 1970, Harold Stamp, a retarded twenty-year-old was
convicted on disputed evidence and a retracted confession of
brutally murdering his grandmother - the one person who understood
and protected him. Less than three years later he is dead, driven
to suicide by isolation and despair. A fate befitting a murderer,
perhaps, but what if he were innocent? Thirty years on, Jonathan
Hughes, an anthropologist specializing in social stereotyping,
comes across the case by accident. He finds alarming disparities in
the evidence and has little doubt that Stamp's conviction was a
terrible miscarriage of justice. But how far is Hughes prepared to
go in the search for justice? Is the forgotten story of one
friendless young man compelling enough to make him leave his books
and face his own demons? And with what result? If Stamp didn't
murder Grace Jeffries then somebody else did . . . and sleeping
dogs are best left alone . . .
