Unmasking Lucy Letby : the untold story of the killer nurse

Books, Manuscripts
Lucy Letby is reviled as one of the world's most notorious killers. Convicted of murdering seven babies, and attempting to murder a further seven, she is officially the most prolific child killer of the modern era, and only the fourth British woman ever to receive a whole life prison sentence. Still only in her early thirties, she will die in prison. But although Letby's journey from obscurity to infamy has made headlines across the world, very little is known about her. Who is the real Lucy Letby? What made this seemingly ordinary young woman set off on a path of attacking and killing desperately vulnerable premature babies? How was she able to carry on harming babies for a year? Drawing on interviews with those most intimately connected to this tragic story, as well as exclusive sources and documents, these are the questions that journalists Jonathan Coffey and Judith Moritz set out to answer.
