A book presenting Derbyshire's darker past which combines detailed research with a lively insight into characters and events. Illus., Index. 160pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers. Seller Inventory # 11298
