This brilliantly written memoir takes the reader on a journey into the past, to a rural England long gone, when horses worked the fields & small boys spent most of their time outdoors. Ken Sears was born in 1934 to a poor farming family in Hertfordshire
- the fifth child of what would be eleven. He learns how to fend for himself at an early age. His boyhood life coincides with wartime, evacuees & American GIs arriving in his home town of Hemel Hempstead (the Treacle Bumpstead of the title). At the age of nine he is caught stealing eggs & accused of killing a chicken (which he denies to this day) & is sent to reform school for five years. So begins a punishing existence, but it breeds a tough teenager, & after learning the trade of bricklaying he is called up to do his National Service in 1952. So begins his adventures in the Army, in Europe & Korea, where the ever-plucky Ken
- who has an eye for the ladies & is always landing himself in trouble
- finds not-always legal ways to make life that bit easier. After the Army he comes back to England & sets up a building business. From there he sees his home town change out of all recognition. The story is a characterful testament to the resourceful generation of the men who did National Service, fought wars, built towns & stood up to everything in their way. Ken's story reads like Commando Comics meets Fred Dibnah.

Flung into this new world, Sally soon finds her feet, thanks to her own steady, unspoilt nature & to the company of her best friend, Jeremy. One of the first lessons she learns is that the other actors barely need tuition in the art of stage-fighting, since they are quite adept at stabbing each other in the back.

When Jeremy falls suddenly & dangerously in love, Sally needs to grow up
- fast. A shadow is falling over the theatre, sparing no one, & a tragedy is gathering pace in the darkness behind the stage.

On a bright & sunny June afternoon, a seven-year-old boy was left in the care of his teenage neighbour. No one knew, or would even have dreamed of suspecting, that the teenager was a satanist. The two went out to the fields to look for rabbits. The child was never seen alive again. For the first time, in " The Boy in the Attic", David Malone reveals the exact events of that summer day: how the youngster was lured to his death, how the teenager came to delve so deeply into the occult & the nightmarish scene awaiting police when they entered the attic. But there is another disturbing question
- how is it that this murder, which was easily one of the most shocking & horrific in living memory, was barely reported upon at all? Why have you never heard of the boy in the attic until now?
