Tweedledum (United Kingdom) (2013/09/19):
Midnight in Peking tells the horrific story of the murder of a beautiful intelligent young woman, Pamela Werner, on the eve of war in Peking. The investigation by both Chinese and British police officers was abandoned as the war and the Japanese approached but Pamela's elderly stepfather refused to abandon the search for the truth. That truth he unravelled but his evidence lay mouldering in the national archives in Kew for 70 years when incredibly the author, who had already become interested in the story stumbled across it when researching something complete different. Pamela Werner's death is as shocking now as it was back in 1937 and 70 years on cruel and sadistic individuals and organised gangs continue to prey on young girls. If this story tells us anything it tells us that the truth can always be uncovered by those who care enough to search and who are angry enough to fight for justice.
