CRIMES THAT SHOOK THE WORLD

Hardback. The author has selected his 'top-flight' cases, ranging from the macabre tale of murder to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" to the low-comedy history of a Paris prostitute. Here are revelations of the intricate plotting behind Gandhi's murder; the story of Sun Yat-sen's kidnapping - a crime of London's gaslight era; the assassinations of Dollfuss and Alexander of Yugoslavia; the death of the Romanovs in the House of Special Purpose; and an astonishing set of facts about a mysterious lady named MacLeod, whose pseudonym will come as a surprise to most readers. 224pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Fr. hinge just beginning to show o/w Vg. in notched, Nr. Vg. pcdw.
