***WINNER OF THE CRIME WRITERS' ASSOCIATION ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR
NON-FICTION*** 'Meticulous and gripping - a thriller that disturbs
for revelations about a singular act of murder, and the national
security state which we call home' Philippe Sands, author of East
West Street A groundbreaking examination of a terrifying murder and
its aftermath by the bestselling author of Hanns and Rudolf and The
House by the Lake. On 14 June 2006, police were called to 9
Downshire Hill in Hampstead. The owner, Allan Chappelow, was a
writer and notorious recluse who had not been seen for several
weeks. Inside the darkened house, officers found piles of rubbish,
trees growing through the floor, and the body of Chappelow,
battered to death, partially burned and buried under four feet of
paper. The man eventually arrested on suspicion of his murder was a
Chinese dissident named Wang Yam, who claimed to be the grandson of
one of Mao's closest aides. His trial was the first in modern
British history to be held 'in camera': closed, carefully
controlled, secret. Wang Yam was found guilty, but has always
protested his innocence. Did Wang Yam do it? Or was he framed for a
crime he didn't commit? When everything is hidden, how do we know
what's really true? www.bloodonthepage.com _________________ 'An In
Cold Blood for our time - a brilliant and unflinching anatomy of a
murder that is both brutal true crime and heartbreaking human
tragedy' Tony Parsons 'A fine and fascinating read, bolstered by
exemplary research and nuanced insights.' Observer 'A real-life
procedural... which might have important implications for us all.'
Guardian 'Reads like a thriller... a rigorous investigation... a
revealing piece of social history.' Sunday Times 'Detailed,
painstaking and fascinating.' Evening Standard
