The Ice Cream Murders with Douglas Skelton
Best-selling crime writer Douglas Skelton revisits the unsolved Ice Cream Murders case, which occurred during the early 1980s.

Skelton delves into the tensions between the gangs, a 20-year battle to prove the innocence of two men convicted, and the unsolved case that still haunts Glasgow.
