More About This Book

Overview

Fifteen-year-old Lynda Mann's savagely raped and strangled body is found along a shady footpath near the English village of Narborough.  Though a massive 150-man dragnet is launched, the case remains unsolved.  Three years later the killer strikes again, raping and strangling teenager Dawn Ashforth only a stone's throw from where Lynda was so brutally murdered.  But it will take four years, a scientific breakthrough, the largest manhunt in British crime annals, and the blooding of more than four thousand men before the real killer is found.

From the Paperback edition.

Here is Wambaugh's most mesmerizing book to date: the haunting and shocking account of two near-perfect crimes in a quiet English village, unravelled by the headline-making discovery that is revolutionizing crime detection--"genetic finger-printing."

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Wambaugh's latest triumphant venture into true crime turns to Leicestershire, England, and the slayings of two teenagers, killings that were eventually solved through scientist Alec Jeffreys's discovery of genetic fingerprinting. ``As Wambaugh's fans have come to expect, this is an eminently readable and most impressive book,'' praised PW. (Dec.)
Library Journal
Wambaugh, best known for his books dealing with American crime and detection, here tells the engrossing story of two British sex murders and the police hunt for the killer. The title stems from a procedure of genetic fingerprinting detected by examining blood samples, and used by the police to catch the murderer. Armed with the new discovery for detection, the police launched a massive drive to ``fingerprint'' men in the Narborough village area. Wambaugh gives an inside look at the police and their intense and, at last, successful drive to catch the murderer. He also discusses the process, and some of its limitless possibilities. An excellent account of murder, detection, and this amazing scientific discovery. Recommended.-- Sally G. Waters, Stetson Law Lib., St. Petersburg, Fla.

    MAKE TIME FOR THIS BOOK!

    My only complaint about this book is that there were no pictures in it so you can only imagine what the people looked like based on the descriptions given in the book. Joseph Wambaugh is very good, almost towards the likes of Ann Rule but not quite. If there is any more Joseph Wambaugh, I wouldn¿t mind taking a dose of him again.

    Could Not Put It Down!

    I received this book as a gift and was not sure that I'd actually like it. After managing to read it in one day I can now say this is the best book I have ever read. The Blooding will not disappoint.

    The only 5-star book I've ever read!

    This is the first book that I've ever given 5 stars. This was an excellent book that I read over Christmas break and was completely in awe the entire time. This book starts in high gear and stays there throughout. No long intro setting up the story, this book jumps right in and left me wanting more and more. The ending was especially surprising and not what I was expecting. Enjoy!!
