Book description
Ireland 1973: a very different world. But a tiny village in County
Dublin was about to lose its innocence for ever.
On a bright and sunny June afternoon, a seven-year-old boy was left
in the care of his teenage neighbour. No one knew, or would even have
dreamed of suspecting, that the teenager was a Satanist. The two went
out to the fields to look for rabbits. The child was never seen alive again.
For the first time, in The Boy in the Attic, David Malone
reveals the exact events of that summer day: how the youngster was
lured to his death, how the teenager came to delve so deeply into the
occult and the nightmarish scene awaiting police when they entered the attic.
But there is another disturbing question - how is it that this
murder, which was easily one of the most shocking and horrific in
living memory, was barely reported upon at all? Why have you never
heard of the boy in the attic until now?
David Malone is a television producer who has created dozens of
popular shows. He was appointed as a BBC producer at the age of 24 and
since then has worked between Channel 4, RTÃ , BBC and Channel Five,
producing documentaries, undercover crime investigations and the world's
longest-running chat show,

He lives in Dublin with his wife and has three grown-up daughters.
