Colin Stagg spent thirteen months on remand for the brutal murder of Rachel Nickell before the judge threw out the so-called evidence presented by the police. Was he a guilty man who beat the rap or an innocent fall guy? This book shows how a psychologist, an ambitious police inspector and a seductive undercover policewoman set out to entrap an innocent man while ignoring more likely suspects. It is a story of self-deception, betrayal and wilful blindnexx by those whom we trust to enforce the law. And it is the tragic tale of how Rachel's family was robbed of justice while a blameless and vulnerable young man's life was nearly destroyed by a misguided police operation in a futile effort to "get a result" - even if it was the wrong result.
