In this book, Wood delivers an in-depth and personal account of the nearly four-decade pursuit of justice for the tragic murders of Edinburgh teenagers Helen Scott and Christine Eadie that began in October 1977. As one of Scotland’s most senior and experienced police officers and an original investigator on the case, Wood is the perfect narrator to explore and give tribute to the loss of the lives of these two girls, honouring the resilience of their families and the dedication of the investigators. 'The World’s End Murders: The Inside Story' traces the steps of the officers and forensic scientists, whose work to preserve the evidence left behind at the scene of the crime finally saw the perpetrator convicted of his evil deeds in 2014. This is the inside story of the World’s End Murders.
