Publisher's Synopsis
This book discusses more than 200 cases, ranging from the slaying of Edmund Ironside in 1016 to the still unsolved murder of Gloria Booth in 1971. Famous cases such as Crippen, Christie, Seddon, Wainwright and Cream are included, but also many which, although less well-known, have a special interest of their own.;In those instances where sites of old crimes have disappeared, the author has attempted to pinpoint them as closely as possible. He has also threaded his way through the tortuous maze of street-name alterations and wherever possible both old and new have been provided.
