      [A] real-life Midsomer Murder ... it''s chilling, but [David Wilson''s] explanation of how a psychopath thinks is masterly'' The Times

      The shocking story of the murder of Peter Farquhar and the churchwarden who groomed and betrayed him, from the UK''s leading criminologist David Wilson

      Two deaths.

      Three doors apart.

      An unsuspecting community about to realise there''s a killer in their midst.

      In October 2015, Peter Farquhar was found dead in his house in Maids Moreton, lying on the sofa next to a bottle of whisky. An inquest was made, and Peter''s death was quickly ruled an accident.

      But after the death of another elderly neighbour, the dreadful truth began to emerge: both victims had been groomed, seduced and mentally tortured by a young man, Benjamin Field, who had used his position of power in the community to target and exploit the elderly.

      He almost got away with it.

      Very little shocks criminologist David Wilson, but this extraordinary case in his sleepy hometown astounded him. Wilson felt duty-bound to follow its trail, discovering how his tightknit community failed to intervene, how a psychopath went undetected for years, and how Peter unwittingly supplied the blueprint for his own murder.

      A Plot to Kill is a chilling, gripping account of a callous murder in the heart of middle England, a fight for justice, and a revealing insight into the mind of a killer.
