Eddowes (1903-1992) lawyer, author and investigator and father of the author wrote a book entitled 'The Man on Your Conscience' in which he claimed Evans was innocent and that John Christie was responsible for the murders of both Evans' wife and child. Timothy Evans who was hanged for the murder of his daughter was subsequently pardoned and Ludovic Kennedy wrote a book citing Evans' fate as one of the first miscarriages of justice. John Eddowes regarded his father's views as those of a fantasist and a liar and set out in his book to prove him and others such as Ludovic Kennedy wrong, arguing that Evans was guilty of both murders.
