Barbados-born Derek Reece took up residence in London as a young teenager in 1960. He spent several years as a British soldier, during which time he was stationed in different parts of the Middle East. After military service, Reece returned to London and studied law and trained as a Barrister-at-Law there, where he still resides. About The Mystery Man: You will read non-stop this intriguing story of "fairest London's darkest mystery" of how convicted black serial rapist Burke seems so guilty yet the attitude of London's cops and what transpires in the courts begs consideration of his emphatic "not guilty" plea. Who really was the serial rapist terrorizing white middle class single women in their homes or as they returned home alone in London at nights? Was he a white man wearing a mask and gloves and raping his victims in the dark to hide the fact that, unlike the women he was terrorizing, he was black? was he a solitary figure like Fidel Burke ? or was he not one man, but two or even three masked rapists?
