Life & Death on Little Ross

Little Ross and its beautifully designed lighthouse were largely unknown until a brutal murder in 1960 brought it widespread notoriety.The author, who was present on the island for this tragedy and a witness in the High Court trial which followed, now takes a look at the island's history which has been largely ignored in favour of this sensational story.Drawing on extractas from a diary that survuved WWI and first-hand accounts of those who lived on the island and the tradesmen who worked on the automation of the lighthouse, the author paints a detailed portrait of a small island and its history.
