It is the summer of 82 as Sally Thomas prepares to leave her job at the British Drama League in London & head off to the North of England for her very first season in repertory as an Assistant Stage Manager at the beautiful old theatre in Crewe.

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?

The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz presents a rare living testimony through the eyes of a child who had the unique ability to observe & remember every detail around him & chose to document it all.
