Softcover. From Victorian street crime, where murder for money was more commonplace and criminal trials often a lottery, to more modern murder where passion, jealousy, or social depravation brought unexpected violence to those involved. From mysterious death to murder and manslaughter, this book is a fascinating insight into not only those whose lives are forever captured by the suffering they endured, but also into the society that moulded and shaped their lives. Illus., Notes and References + Index. 160pp. 8vo. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F.
