the Quiet Man: Steven Wright, Suffolk Strangler, and Thirty-Year Shadow

The Quiet Man: Steven Wright, the Suffolk Strangler, and the Thirty-Year Shadow The man who killed her was already known to the law. He was unremarkable. He wore black on the golf course. He cleaned his car in the dark. He would go on to kill five more women in Ipswich in the six weeks of autumn 2006, before a DNA database match, triggered by a 2001 theft conviction, finally put a name to the quiet man of London Road.The Quiet Man is the definitive account of Steven Wright's thirty-year predatory career: the developmental roots of his violence, the six confirmed murders and five unresolved cold cases that shadow his biography, the forensic breakthroughs that brought him to justice, and the catastrophic institutional failures that kept him free for far too long. Drawing on court records, forensic science, and criminological analysis, Charles Carrigan reconstructs not just a killer's story but the story of the systems that failed to stop him, and the families who refused to let the silence stand.
