Book

England's capital city has had more than its fair share of murders over the centuries, accounting for over half of the memorable British murders in more recent years. A considerable number have made international headlines and remain important milestones in the detection of crime and there are many lesser-known but nonetheless equally horrendous murders included here, from as early as 1381, to crimes committed in the opening years of the 27 st century. Such names as Franz Miiller, Jack the Ripper, Eleanor Pearcey, Dr Crippen, Loius Voisin, Neville Heath, Ruth Ellis and Dennis Nilsen are known to most people who have a passing interest in crime history; but The A-Z of London Murders delves more deeply into murders committed in the capital, providing a superb gazetteer of murder. Lavishly illustrated, this book is essential reading for all lovers of True Crime.
