Synopsis
Michael Manning was a newly married young man of 25 and a cartman of Limerick.

In this new book exploring the murder and the events that led to it, Dermot Walsh brings to light new information from the original Garda file and interviews with the original investigation team. Beneath the single eye of Cannock's Clock, fate and circumstance combined to ill effect. ""Walsh's style is very straightforward and the book proves a step-by-step account with investigatory precision and an unbiased voice."" Irish America Magazine

A local professional man and his wife were out walking and noticing the forms on the grass initially thought it was a courting couple. The wife became concerned about the noise and thought that somebody was in distress.

When the lights focused on the place where they had seen the figures, a man jumped up and ran away.
