MIDLAND MURDERS & MYSTERIES

Softcover. Drunken ruffians fight the police, a doctor prescribes poison, a jealous husband hides the pieces of his dismembered wife. This collection of murder cases covers the bizarre, the pitiful and the plain nasty, and they come from Worcestershire, the Black Country, Leafy Warwickshire and rural Staffordshire. Some lead to a hanging, some to a suspect freed, but several were never solved. Illus. Maps. 115p. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
