About this Item

Collected together in this book are nerve-jangling accounts from a century of murder. Taken intact from the Telegraph's superlative domestic crime pages, they range from the lurid, through the chilling, to the touching and sometimes tragic. The author looks at the background to the murders and the evolving ways of reporting them and introduces us to some of the influential figures - from judges to executioners - responsible for their trial and sometimes capital punishment.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
