Martin van Beynen is the author of Black Hands: Inside the Bain Family Murders. The unpublished manuscript was the foundation for the popular podcast series and the TV series that is currently screening. After sitting through the entire 58 days of the second David Bain trial in 2009 and seeing all the evidence, van Beynen concluded David was far more likely to have been the killer than his father, Robin, though he says the latter can't be ruled out entirely. The book is out now.
