Unable to identify the victim, police turned to Richard Hoskins, a young professor of theology with a profound understanding of African tribal ritual and religion, whose own past was scarred by heartbreaking tragedy. Thus began a journey into the tangled undergrowth of one of the most notorious murder cases of recent years; a case which would reveal the horrific truth about child trafficking, abuse, and even murder. Insightful and grippingly written, The Boy in the River is both an inside account of a series of extraordinary criminal investigations and a compelling personal quest into the dark heart of humanity. The Boy in the River is a Sunday Times Top Ten and Amazon UK No.1 bestseller. In 2013 it won the prestigious Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Hoskins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574523347095,"sku":"9781919404509","price":2284.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781919404509.webp?v=1774895684","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-boy-in-the-river-a-shocking-true-story-of-murder-and-sacrifice-in-the-heart-of-london-9781919404509","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
