New book: 'Lies & Deception' Madeleine-the impossible kidnapping by Peter Scharrenberg

Dutch Journalist Peter Scharrenberg studied the very large Portuguese police file on the missing three-year-old British toddler Madeleine McCann. She disappeared on May 3, 2007 mysteriously from her bed in a Portuguese holiday village, where she ao with her parents Gerry and Kate, was on vacation. According to them, she is kidnapped by a pedophile burglar.

Scharrenberg has in his research two key witnesses in the cases have been found which are obviously completely forgotten or overlooked are seen by the police and who have played no role in the research. These two witnesses have, however, already one day after the loss, made very incriminating statements to Gerry McCann, Madeleine's father. Because of this there must be serious doubts about the accuracy of the timeline that has been made at the time by the police and is always used as a guide in the investigation. The implications of the statements of these two 'forgotten' witnesses are enormous, as this seems to be demonstrated that Father Gerry itself the "kidnapper" was. In addition, these statements come from a Roman Catholic priest and a retired British businessman picture as possible of helping hands to hide the little body of the toddler. Both men are never investigated.

In this book he also describes the main findings, witness statements and forensic evidence and put it into context, making it the reader, according to the author, it is increasingly clear that the parents have been or should involved in the disappearance of their daughter and that while they have had help.

Is this available in English?

Even if it isn't, I'm sure it'll be serialised on the twins' school bus journey - just like Dr Amaral's was

Hi all. Being Dutch I decided to look up this Peter Scharrenberg. I had never heard of him.
There is no journalist named Peter Scharrenberg that has published anything other than this book (self-published, no publisher).
There is a crime journalist called Koen Scharrenberg who published a book in 2011.
Peter Scharrenberg gets no mention on internet anywhere, ever, apart from a linkedin profile without a picture and with 1 connection.
I am very curious if this is indeed a serious book he has written.

Call me paranoid, but it is a great way for people who are interested in say "the McCann stalkers" to get details (shipping address, name etc.)
I am also curious who brought this book to the attention of (the owner of) this forum.
Maybe the writer is a trustworthy person, who used the name Peter Scharrenberg as a pseudonym. But I would like to know more before I buy the book.

Yes, he's written a couple of other books about crime, but they're in Dutch too ...

And again, during our extensive conversation he showed to be well-versed on the case.

Have received an early report on the Peter Scharrenberg book from a Dutch contact, who writes:

QUOTE

I just woke up, made my breakfast and started on the book. It doesn't look good. He's using tabloid language, making things up.

Page ten: "The twins are one-year-old and sleeping in travel-cots"??

Halfway on page ten the writer states that:

"Gerry stands up first that evening (from the table I guess) and goes at ten past nine for the first time in the direction of the holiday-apartment.

"When he turns the key in the front door of apartment 5A,he is afraid the loud noise of the opening of the lock has awakened one of the children. He softly walks to the children's room, puts two steps inside - and sees the twins laying in their travel-cots and Madeleine in her little bed.

"It is quiet, they are sleeping..."  

UNQUOTE

If I may be allowed to quote Mrs Pamela Fenn when she spoke on TV about her statement to the police, the best advice about this book would therefore seem to be:

"Ignore it...it's all a load of rubbish"

From first reports by those who have started to read it, the book itself is shot through with mistakes as well, which is a shame

Hello all. I just had a phonecall from Peter Scharrenberg.
I mentioned the many mistakes he made in the book.
I read out the review I had written about it.
He was shocked by it. He decided to take the book off the market.
I have his permission to post this on the forum.
