From
murderers and arsonists, poachers and thieves, pickpockets and
vagabonds, as well as the policemen, detectives, prosecutors and
hangmen responsible for sending the guilty to their ultimate fate – our
popular True Crime list carries a wide range of books on the shady side
of Britain’s past. The county-based Murders series looks at heinous but fascinating historic murder cases, the Hanged at series features the case of every convict to take the short walk to the gallows at a particular prison, while our Murder & Crime
series – again arranged by county – includes various cases from the
annals of crime. As well as individual case studies on infamous
Victorian crimes and biographies of executioners, our exciting range of
titles will satisfy all those interested in the criminal history of
this country.
