Topping: The Autobiography of the Police Chief in the Moors Murders Case

The name of Detective Chief Superintendent Peter Topping is synonymous with the recent remarkable reinvestigation of the notorious Moors Murders. A Manchester policeman all his working life, Topping masterminded the headline-hitting search of the Moors for the bodies of two of the victims of Hindley and Brady - Pauline Reade and Keith Bennett. Amidst massive police, public - and Home Office - speculation and controversy Peter Topping and his team found the near-perfectly preserved body of Pauline Reade in the summer of 1987.

In his autobiography Peter Topping reveals the astonishing confession of Hindley - who tells the truth, as she saw it, about the murders - and a wealth of detail about Brady, and the journeys Topping made with him back to the Moors to search for the one remaining body.
