Softcover. 12 local murders are described, all chosen for their strange or remarkable qualities. Some are world-famous - like the murder of successful architect Francis Rattenbury. Some are little known but equally bizarre like the boy scout who knifed an old lady to death when she refused to hand over his scout badges, or the Poole fishmonger who boasted of having 'cheated the gallows' after a jury had found him innocent. All are fascinating true stories of murder. Illus. 189pp. trade size softcover. Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
