The Cameo Conspiracy

The definitive book on the case which led to a posthumous pardon. A classic within the True Crime genre. The notorious Cameo Cinema murder case of 1949 is one of Britain's legal cause célèbres. But for over half a century the convictions of two young men, George Kelly and Charles Connolly, went unchallenged, until - following publication of The Cameo Conspiracy - both were exonerated by the Court of Appeal in 2003. This made it the longest-running miscarriage of justice in British legal history.
