A Murderer's Game William Ruby

'Did you kill Lynsey?''Wait and find out. Wait and find out.'Southport, Christmas 1998. Young mother of two Lynsey Quy disappears without a trace. The police believe she is dead. Her husband Mitchell is their prime suspect but there is no evidence of a murder. Mitchell Quy embarks on an eighteen-month-long campaign of national publicity and self-promotion. He tells the world that Lynsey is alive, that he is an innocent man wrongly accused, a good father abandoned by his wife. Southport holds its breath, awaits the truth. When it finally emerges, this truth is darker than anyone ever imagined. 'A Murderer's Game' is the true story of a highly unusual criminal investigation and the consequences of a terrible crime. It is also a meditation on the community in which this crime took place, a town that helped shape the lives of the people involved, a place of secrecy and the obscured.
