[INCOMPLETE] Cleanup: Nineteen Seventy-Four

[Drace]

There are errors to clean up with the book Nineteen Seventy Four.

1. 1999 UK Paperback: Nineteen Seventy Four (ISBN 9781852426347)

- The publication date is incorrect. The copyright page says it was published 1999.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the back cover (images here: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/first-edit...)

Jeanette Garland, missing Castleford, July 1969. Susan Ridyard, missing Rochdale, March 1972. Clare Kemplay, missing Morley, since yesterday.

Christmas bombs and Lucky on the run, Leeds United and the Bay City Rollers, The Exorcist and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum.

It’s winter, 1974, Yorkshire, and Ed Dunford’s got the job he wanted. Crime correspondent for the Evening Post. He didn’t know it was going to be a season in hell. A dead little girl with a swan’s wings stitched to her back. A gypsy camp in a ring of fire. Corruption everywhere you look.

In Nineteen Seventy Four, David Peace brings the passion and stylistic bravado of a James Ellroy novel to this terrifyingly intense journey into a secret history of sexual obsession, greed, and sadism – the finest British crime debut since Derek Raymond’s He Died With His Eyes Open.

[Editorializing a bit here, but It Ain’t Half Hot Mum? No offense to any Brits who might be browsing this thread, but so many of your sitcoms have insane titles. What the hell is going on over there?]

While the police department and other crime reporters at the newspaper believe it's an isolated incident, Eddie finds a pattern between Clare's disappearance and those of other girls from a few years earlier. Despite his better judgment, and against the advice of others, he starts to dig deep. What he finds is a nightmare of corruption, violence, blackmail, and obsession that ultimately leads to a shocking, explosive conclusion.

But standing between him and the truth is a society riddled with corruption and brutality. Getting answers will mean a toss-up between his sanity and his life.
