A Wren for 99 Days is a deeply personal and heart-breaking account of the life and tragic death of Gertrude Canning, a young Irishwoman from Co. Donegal who was murdered in Scotland in 1942. To this day, no one has been brought to justice for her murder, making it one of Scotland’s oldest unsolved cold cases. The book critically re-examines the original police investigation, drawing on extensive research, official records accessed through Freedom of Information request, and direct conversations with Police Scotland. It challenges the conclusions reached at the time, raising the unsettling question; did the authorities allow Gertrude’s killer to escape justice? This book is also a tribute. Despite the decades that have passed, Gertrude’s spirit endures. Her story reveals the invisible thread of love, peace and friendship that has connected people in her memory, ensuring that she is not forgotten. .
