On 23 December 1996, the body of Sophie Toscan du Plantier was discovered outside her remote holiday cottage near Schull in West Cork. The attack had been savage and merciless. The murder caused shock waves in her native France and in the quiet Cork countryside that she had chosen as her retreat from the high-flying lifestyle of the film business in which she and her husband mixed. Six years later, and despite an extensive investigation, the killer of Sophie is still at largeand the file remains open. Death in December is the fascinating and compelling story of how an independent and beautiful woman sought peace and sanctuary and instead found violence and the ultimate terror. It gives a chilling profile of the killer whom pyschologists believe will strike again.

'It was French film-maker Sophie Toscan du Plantier's dream to have a holiday home in beautiful Schull in west Cork. But on 23 December 1996, she was brutally murdered outside that holiday home, the poetry book she had been reading chillingly left open on a page occupied by the Yeats poem 'A Dream of Death'.For 23 years the story of her murder has not left the headlines, the victim overshadowed by Ian Bailey, the main suspect in the case, who has consistently maintained his innocence and claimed attempts were made to frame him for the crime, but who was the focus of a historic trial in absentia in Paris in 2019.Here, in the definitive account of what became Ireland's most notorious unsolved crime, Ralph Riegel delves into the facts and theories of the unsolved murder that caused such shock waves in Sophie's native France and in the quiet Cork countryside she had chosen as her retreat.

As it turns out, the knife is actually a Henley College letter opener—something that is gifted to every member of the graduating class. Sophie is led to a complicated puzzle of scandal and corruption, and it seems that Mayor Graves is at the apex of it all. When Sophie finds out that the mayor was seeking her help on the day he was murdered, she must use her top-notch logic to crack the puzzle and catch the killer running free on campus…

Sophie Elliott had everything to live for, until her ex boyfriend decided otherwise. The gripping mother's tale of a murder that shocked New Zealand. Sophie Elliott had good looks, intelligence, friends, a loving family, a degree under her belt and a new job at the Treasury in Wellington. And then, the day before she left Dunedin to take up that job, she was brutally stabbed to death in her own home by her former boyfriend, Clayton Weatherston. He was much older and one of her lecturers at the university. When the public came to take his measure at his high-profile trial in 2010, his narcissistic, manipulative personality stunned the nation. Sophie's mother Lesley has weathered the horror of her daughter's death, and the gruelling process of the trial, to set up a foundation to help young women identify when they might be in a relationship that puts them in harm's way — as Sophie was, unbeknownst to her and her family — and how to seek help. This book is Lesley's tribute to a daughter she adored, her harrowing account of a tragedy no family should ever have to endure, and her inspiring decision to make sure that Sophie's legacy endures. It's also her challenge to the justice system on behalf of victims.

After Sophie performs some quick calculations, she's left with a nagging question: Was it really suicide? When one of Sophie's favorite students, a performer in the concert, is brutally beaten and left in a coma, Sophie's mind kicks into overdrive.

Elio Malocco, author of the best selling Forensic Science: Crime Scene Analysis, turns his attention to the real life, quarter of a century old, brutal murder of French national Sophie Toscan du Plantier in the remote village of Schull in West Cork, Ireland on the 23 December 1996. The savagery of the attack shocked locals and seasoned detectives. Regarded as one of the safest places to live in Ireland, the murder baffled the investigators. There hadn't been a murder here in 100 years. Who could carry out such a savage unprovoked attack? Drawing on meticulous research including an examination of over 16,000 pages of evidence, state of the art forensic science analysis, and a psychological insight into criminal minds, the main protagonists in the incident are examined in detail. Originally, detectives assessed 50 suspects but this was quickly narrowed down, some say too quickly, to just a handful. And then there was one. But was due consideration given to all suspects? Some had serious questions to answer but were never asked. Although one man was convicted in absentia in a French court he remains a free man in Ireland as the authorities refuse to extradite him. He has always maintained his innocence. But does this mean he is innocent? After a painstaking investigation of all of the available evidence the author makes his own conclusions. But will you agree? This riveting account of the murder asks and answers many of the questions never considered before. It is an up-put-downable account of the entire investigation for lovers of true crime.
