Letters, 1966-1967, 1975, to the author and playwright Emlyn Williams from David Smith, brother-in-law of infamous Moors murderer Myra Hindley. Williams spent time with David Smith and his wife Maureen in order to gain insight into the lives of Myra Hindley and her partner Ian Brady for his 1967 novel Beyond Belief: A Chronicle of Murder and its Detection, a semi-fictionalised account of the criminal activities of Brady and Hindley. The novel was published a year after Brady and Hindley were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of five children aged between ten and seventeen in and around Manchester between July 1963 and October 1965. David Smith, who witnessed at least one of the murders, was the chief prosecution witness at Brady and Hindley's trial.
