CRIMINAL CALENDAR II Recent criminal cases solved and unsolved with notes on detection

Hardback. The author has compiled a second volume of 'recent' cases, some of them not yet solved at the time of publication. This work includes an Appendix on the Police Forces of the USA (of which the author was an honorary member of six) and which he has studied at first hand. He was actually in Boston when the daring raid on the Brinks Trucking Company was made which netted the perpetrators over half a million pounds worth of notes. In addition to his knowledge of American police methods, the author is an acknowledged authority on all branches of the British police. This volume selects the highlights from one criminal year and shows the infinite variety and sometimes ingenuity of the wrongdoer. But happily it also demonstrates the thoroughness and patience of the police. Chapter headings include : The Underworld; The Murder of Mrs. Tattershaw; Four Child Murders; The Stone of Scone; The Mystery of Mrs. Weatherall; The Mystery of Dorothy Wallis; The Tragic W.R.A.C.; Two Young Gangsters; The Brinks Robbery; The 'Mercy Killing' Case; Murder in Public + much more. With Index. 191pp. 12mo h/back. Lightly browned eps, o/w Nr. F. in Vg+ dw.
