About the book

An examination of the murder of Reading tobacconist, Alfred Oliver and the inquest into his death. Popular opinion was that the prime murder suspect was Philip Yale Drew, a flamboyant, eccentric actor but Whittington-Egan suggests that his hounding was the result of dubious evidence and motivation.
