True Detective
March 2010 (TDMAR2010)
£3.00
Happy birthday to us! Sixty years ago this month, this magazine first went on sale in UK newsagents. As the British edition of the well-established American True Detective, it was full of (mostly American) cases that most people in Britain had never been able to read about. Over the years, of course, TD has come to focus on British cases too. And it has become known as the home of the very best in true crime stories, anywhere in the world – eclipsing even its American parent, which closed down in the 1990s.
We’d like to tell you more about what was in that pioneering first issue, all those years ago – but we can’t. That’s one issue even we don’t have a copy of. We can, though, show you what it looked like, courtesy of the British Library.
And if it looks familiar, could that be because you still have a copy tucked away somewhere safe after all these years? If so, that could make you our longest-serving reader – and it could also make you £500 better off! To see whether YOU are eligible to claim our £500 reward, see the back page of our special “Six Decades Of Murder” pull-out in the centre of this issue.
But don’t let it distract you too much from the rest of this bumper issue, which is packed, as ever, with astonishing, unputdownable true crime stories and truly remarkable pictures. Which is how we plan to keep it for the next 60 years!
