His first case: missing person Joey Doane, who was lead singer with local band The Magic Rats, and whose truck was found abandoned near the Humber Bridge. The original investigation was filed as a probable suicide, but did Joey really jump to his death or has he staged his own disappearance? Stallard becomes convinced he’s dealing with something far more sinister, but who would want to kill Joey and why? Dive into Sheffield’s vibrant music scene, where indie rock bands play in colourful, sweat-soaked clubs, and beneath the surface, lurks a murky world of corrupt business, pseudo-gangsters and chaotic drug-use.

A "highly readable and compelling" account (Science) of brainwashing’s pervasive role in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries“Riveting. . . . Dimsdale . . . shows how the art of dark persuasion a generation ago led almost inevitably to today’s misinformation, cyberbullying and cultlike behavior on the Internet.”—Dina Temple-Raston, Washington Post This gripping book traces the evolution of brainwashing from its beginnings in torture and religious conversion into the age of neuroscience and social media. When Pavlov introduced scientific approaches, his research was enthusiastically supported by Lenin and Stalin, setting the stage for major breakthroughs in tools for social, political, and religious control. Tracing these developments through many of the past century’s major conflagrations, Dimsdale narrates how when World War II erupted, governments secretly raced to develop drugs for interrogation. Brainwashing returned to the spotlight during the Cold War in the hands of the North Koreans and Chinese. In response, a huge Manhattan Project of the Mind was established to study memory obliteration, indoctrination during sleep, and hallucinogens. Cults used the techniques as well. Nobel laureates, university academics, intelligence operatives, criminals, and clerics all populate this shattering and dark story—one that hasn’t yet ended.
