FOUL DEEDS & SUSPICIOUS DEATHS IN GRIMSBY & CLEETHORPES

Softcover. The author provides a dramatic set of stories from around the area of Grimsby and Cleethorpes, ranging from medieval to the mid-20th century. Many of the tales are about jealous lovers, workers under duress who 'snap' and desperate accounts of people living on the edge, their lives tough and hard. But there are also the legal stories: the courtroom combat of lawyers and those standing accused. But the 'foul deeds' are not all of violence and murder. Some, such as tales of sea-going apprentices, are specific to this famous maritime port and its fishing industry. Others are simply controversial, such as the tale of the banned postcards and the recollections of work on the beat from the memoirs of police officers. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F.
