*AS SEEN ON BBC'S PANORAMA*
In June 2015 babies started dying unexpectedly on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital. As medics searched desperately for answers, lead consultant Dr Steve Brearey emailed the ward manager to say, 'We still need to talk about Lucy.'
Several years have passed since then and Letby is now in jail. And yet the doctor's words continue to hold true. Despite her convictions and an extensive public inquiry, there are more questions now about Letby than ever - and they aren't going away. So who is the real Lucy Letby? What convinced senior medics and the police that she was killing babies? And were they right - or could her convictions be a miscarriage of justice, as some now believe?
Drawing on extensive interviews with people who knew and worked with her, as well as unrivalled access to documents and key players in her case, this book traces the story of Letby from primary school to prison, and grapples with the truth about one of the most high-profile murder cases in living memory.
Jonathan Coffey is one of BBC Panorama's most experienced senior journalists.

In 2016, he was one of the winners of the Investigation of the Year category at the British Journalism Awards for his work on the series of revelations known as the Panama Papers. He has written for the Spectator, Standpoint, and the Wagner Journal. He has also presented several documentaries for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4. Jonathan led the BBC's investigative effort on the Letby case for Panorama, and produced and directed the documentaries Lucy Letby: The Nurse Who Killed and Lucy Letby: Unanswered Questions. Judith Moritz is a special correspondent for BBC News. She was one of the only reporters to be given access to the courtroom for the duration of Lucy Letby's trials and spent nearly a year observing her closely. She led all the BBC's national and international coverage of the case and presented the Panorama documentaries Lucy Letby: The Nurse Who Killed and Lucy Letby: Unanswered Questions. Judith comes to the story with many years' experience of reporting complex court cases including proceedings relating to Harold Shipman, Ian Brady, the Morecambe Bay disaster and the Rochdale grooming scandal.
