ISBN: 9781447207900.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 21st September 2001 the mutilated torso of a small child was found floating beside London’s Tower Bridge, one tide away from being swept into the North Sea.Unable to identify the victim, the Murder Squad turned to Richard Hoskins, a young professor of theology with a profound understanding of African tribal religion, whose own past was scarred by a heartbreaking tragedy. Thus began a journey into the tangled undergrowth of one of the most notorious murder cases of recent years; a journey which would reveal not only the identity of the boy they called Adam but the horrific truth that a succession of innocent children have been ritually sacrificed in our capital city.Insightful and grippingly written, The Boy in the River is an inside account of a series of extraordinary criminal investigations and a compelling personal quest into the dark heart of humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989440000053,"sku":"ByrdShop_1447207904","price":62.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781447207900_123d54b0-dda3-41ba-95d7-ac5f40218f14.jpg?v=1792792606","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-boy-in-the-river-a-shocking-true-story-of-ritual-murder-and-sacrifice-in-the-heart-of-london-9781447207900","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
