•  The Green Bicycle Murder  by Paul Stickler

  On a summer evening in 1919, 21 year old Bella Wright went for a cycle ride in the Leicestershire countryside and would shortly be found shot dead a short distance from her home. A man on a green bicycle became the focus of attention and the following year he was arrested. Follow the extraordinary trail of events and decide for yourself whether the man was responsible for her death or whether she had been murdered at all.

  A retired detective, Paul Stickler holds a PhD in history and law and is now a historian and consultant for true crime media. He has written two books: At Mrs Ridgley’s Corner (Pen and Sword) and The Long Silence (History Press). He is a member of the Crime Writers’ Association. Paul explores the detail behind some of the most fascinating cases in criminal history. His experience in murder investigations coupled with his passion for history make his presentations absorbing, challenging, entertaining and informative. 

  This will be a live presentation at Harman’s Cross Village Hall, BH19 3EB 

  Doors open at 9.45am. The proceedings start, after coffee, at around 10.20am with news and notices, followed by the talk at 10.30am.
