Blackened Tanner - By Ron Irwin

Denis Tanner, a Victorian detective, hit the headlines in 1996 when a newspaper accused him of murdering two women - his sister-in-law Jennifer, whose death in 1984 was treated as suicide and Adele Bailey, a transsexual prostitute who disappeared in 1978. In 1998 a coroner found that Denis had shot his sister-in-law but he was never charged. As a result, he has been denied a forum in which to defend himself and clear his name, until the publication of this book. Potentially explosive and thought-provoking, Blackened Tanner will be a most divisive book.
