Lockerbie: A Father’s Search for Justice

About this book

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

In December 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was destroyed over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. Two hundred and fifty nine passengers and eleven people on the ground were killed, among them Flora, the beloved daughter of Dr Jim Swire.

At first, Swire accepted the claim that Libya was responsible. During the Lockerbie Trial, however, he began to question key witnesses and evidence once presented as firm. What began as grief became a long campaign to search for the truth behind his daughter’s death, and behind one of the modern world’s most shocking events.

Written with Peter Biddulph, Lockerbie: A Father’s Search for Justice follows Swire’s journey through loss, doubt and persistence, tracing the private cost of public tragedy. It is an account of a father refusing to turn away from the questions that remain.

The book of the Sky Original miniseries starring Colin Firth as Jim Swire.
