Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. xiii+299pp+illus. + folding plan. VG in red cloth with gilt titles. Very light tanning to endpapers and minor foxing to fore-edge. In the summer of 1952 Straffen strangled two small girls in Bath. At his trial he was found to be insane and committed to Broadmoor. Six months later he escaped and although he was recaptured the same day, he had already killed again. This was the first time a Broadmoor patient had been tried for murder and the first time a man found unfit to plead at one trial was judged sane enough to face another court. A nice copy.
