The Sudden Impulse
This book is based on The Foreign Detective's seven years investigation of the Madeleine McCann case.
The first part which is 2/3 is the analysis part, where the statements of the involved parties are scrutized and completely destroyed.
The lies of the faked abduction on May 3rd of 2007 will be exposed, and the evidence that Maddie died in the apartment the night before will be thoroughly laid out.
The author will also reveal where the body was temporarily hidden till it was moved to the hill East of Praia da Luz by using the car the parent rented three weeks after the alleged disappearence. the cover up of the accident inside the apartment is also discussed and revelaed in this book.
The last 1/3 of the book The Foregn Detective shares his foot on the ground investigation where he found plausible areas for Maddie's grave. He looked for symbols and put up trail cameras where interesting people showed up. He then started a cat and mouse game with the parents to trick them to the area so he could narrow down and get closer to the place he believes they buried their daughter. Truth stranger than fiction is a good description of this last part of the book.
The author's investigation confirms the conclusion of the Portuguese police except the timeline. This is the key thing about the case, the WHEN.
The author claims to have solved the four big questions in this case.
1) When Maddie died.
2) Where she was temporarily hidden.
3) When she was moved to her final burial spot.
4) Where the area and which likely spots it could be

A deafening silence
After reading this book, its truly astounding that the world has been so very quiet about Stellander's central premise: that Maddie McCann's "disappearance" actually happened THE NIGHT BEFORE, on May 2. Not May 3. Considering she is probably our century's most famous missing person, the lack of talk about this book is jaw dropping. Its not a "fun" read, but absolutely fascinating and 100% evidence based. Answers the big question so many have had: "Why would the Tapas 9 friends agree to such a huge lie?"

The case and the whole mess around it raise a lot of questions about the British police and politicians.
Although the author’s theory and findings about “the previous day” make sense to me, it’s really hard to believe that so many people know the truth and remain silent or even cover it up.
I hope the truth will be uncovered one day.

Food for thought
This book poses so many questions about the timelines and statements of the whole tapas group, I am very.much with the author on this one, I said from the beginning that they had given Madeleine too much sedative and that's what caused her death, a very interesting read

Why the sudden impulse?
I found it hard to follow but for years I have wondered about what really happened. I think it's very sad that little girl cried for 75mins. But yes why the sudden impulse Gerry?
