Goncalo's book axed - Madeleine McCann's parents relieved as Portuguese cop axes controversial new book on case

What....................

His publisher and friend Manuel Fonseca – head of Guerra e Paz Editores, the firm which published Amaral’s first book – told us: “There is no book. It doesn’t exist, even as a draft. It may be he would like to work on a book some time, but for the moment that book doesn’t exist.

I'm equally baffled.

Didn't PeterMac report the book was being finished in Switzerland or did I dream that?

Very odd indeed especially as it has been touted in the media for weeks and even a year or two ago. Where does that leave the statement on CMoMM about PeterMac and others working with him and we would have to wait and see with a wink at the end.???? What's going on. Fake stories??

What....................

The second book was going to look at OG. That it's now not going ahead doesn't alter the damage caused to the McCanns by the first book and perhaps also indicates that GA no longer feels the same way about OG - perhaps he's in some way involved in 'the next steps'?

According to this the original publishers were passing info on to GA?

I wonder if OG are ready to close and have asked him not to publish anything??

I wouldn't take the slightest bit of notice of what's been said on CMoMM.

And can we really see G.A or his publisher speaking to the The Mirror about it?

Will await and see what happens.

It is April Fools day (just late with it). A nice little trick pretending it's been axed but then the complete opposite.....

ETA - Yes a good point, Espeland.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the second book was with a different publisher.

Yes, thinking about it a bit more then you both make very valid points, Mo and Espeland.

If the PJ and OG are close to the end game and therefore concluding this, then the last thing they would want in all fairness is GA telling even more that he knows and another book on it all.

If there is any truth in the article then I can actually now see that as very encouraging and maybe GA is on board with it all and the end is finally just around the corner....

Has his thoughts on OG changed?

My understanding of the new book was on the timeline the T9 came up with?

I remember something about a 3rd timeline too?

Mo wrote:My understanding of the new book was on the timeline the T9 came up with?

May I ask where you heard that from, Mo? (I remember the 3rd timeline mentioned, just not in relation to this new book)

I was hoping it would be about that 'ace up his sleeve' that it was always said that he had.

Maybe he doesn't need to reveal that now after a little 'chat' with the PJ and OG.

I thought I heard it on the show he was on, the one where he mentioned the coffin in the church? I am probably mistaken but I personally wouldn't have thought he would write and publish a book about OG whilst an investigation was on-going with OG. My thinking is that it would be disrespectful seeing as the MPS put £1000 into his defence fund?

I shall not comment until you bring us a link from a Portuguese news report Andrew.
I have difficulty believing what is printed in the tabloids here about The McCanns from their 'sources'.

Ok Boss. I'm on the case but I do know exactly what you mean

I would think ,maybe mr amaral ,would be cautious about what is written at this time ,if he thought ,this case could be close to going into any court.As some stuff we all talked about has been banded about for long time now ,never sure how close to truth we are . I hope this is clear ,its a job to get it down on paper reall,could be misconstrued.joyce1938

I'm with Joyce if PJ think the case is close to resolution, he will probably defer til after a trial perhaps. He would then be free to write the whole truth.

From the link Andrew provided.

Sources said the proposed book was to focus on Operation Grange, the £10million Metropolitan police probe into Madeleine’s disapperance. Amaral’s first book was published three days after Portuguese authorities closed the inquiry into Madeleine’s disappearance in 2008 and cleared Kate and Gerry of any wrongdoing.

Cleared of wrongdoing,what was it the Supreme court in Portugal said............................

as yes McCANNS NOT CLEARED say Supreme Court

I'll believe this report when, and if, GA, or a representative, confirms it.

Will stick this one here as well that's just come out (again):

Sigh

A FORMER top cop who spent three years searching for Madeleine McCann has offered to “come back on board” the hunt if needed by her parents.

Of course he will. If the price is right.
