We all go into the dark : the hunt for Bible John
Garcia, Francisco2024
Books
Three women, each brutally murdered after a night dancing at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom. Their murders were linked to the spectre of a well-dressed, scripture-quoting killer who had stalked the city's dancehalls. The killings provoked Scotland's largest ever manhunt, as well as earnest speculation about the countless suspects, pub theorising and bouts of urban mythmaking. 'We all go into the dark' is the extraordinary account of one of the most enduring crimes in Scottish history. A chilling work of true-crime reportage, it explores how the legend of Bible John has morphed across generations, interrogates our collective obsession with 'solving' historic crimes, and questions why some killings are never permitted to be forgotten at all.
