A psychopathic criminal on the run from prison. A family of five held hostage in their home. A frantic police manhunt across the snowbound Derbyshire moors. This is the true story of the terrifying 1977 Pottery Cottage murders that shocked Britain. For three days, escaped prisoner Billy Hughes played macabre psychological games with Gill Moran and her family, holding them hostage in separate rooms of their home. On several occasions Hughes ordered Gill and her husband Richard to leave the house for provisions, confident that they would return without betraying him in order to protect their loved ones. Blizzards hampered the desperate police search, but gradually they closed in on the cottage. A high-speed car chase on icy roads ended with a crash and a dramatic showdown. The story of these terrible events is told here by Carol Ann Lee and Peter Howse, the former chief inspector who saved Gill Moran's life over forty years ago. Praise for The Murders at White House Farm by Carol Ann Lee: 'Finally, a responsible author, Carol Ann Lee, has written a true account' Mike Ainsley, senior investigating officer on the Bamber case
