The Foundry Man’s Apprentice (Signed)

274pp. Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page. In laminated card covers (very slightly rubbed on lower leading corner). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. The story of how a group of neighbours in Victorian England became seen as such a threat to the Establishment that even the death of one of their sons on the battlefields of the first world war cannot lead to justice, and his murder is suppressed, not least because a section of society appeared to be beyond the law; Evans reveals corruption at the highest levels and recounts how, even many years later, the army, police and government conspired to stop investigations and publication of the facts.
