On Wednesday 14 February 1945, the body of Charles Walton was
discovered on the lower slopes of Meon Hill near the sleepy
Warwickshire village of Lower Quinton, his torso pinned to the
ground by a pitchfork. Myths and rumours soon swirled about the
crime. Accounts claim Walton, a retired labourer and a lifelong
resident of Lower Quinton, was believed by many to be a clairvoyant
who could talk to birds and exercise control over animals. It has
even been reported that many villagers attributed Walton's death to
ritual witchcraft. But what is fact and what is fiction? The most
famous police officer in Britain, Chief Inspector Robert Fabian,
was promptly dispatched by Scotland Yard to solve this increasingly
peculiar and foreboding mystery. 'Fabian of the Yard' was not a man
prone to superstition and had dealt with some of the most notorious
killers of his time - but there was something strange about the
Walton murder. Did the clues point to ritual witchcraft as the
modus operandi, or was the black magic angle merely a ruse? With
the villagers unable - or unwilling - to shed light on the matter,
Fabian faced, for the only time in his glittering career, the
daunting prospect of failure. The Case That Foiled Fabian lays out
for the first time what actually happened and distills the truth
from the many myths about this case that are today mistaken for
facts.
