MURDERS AND MYSTERIES IN DEVON

SDoftcover. From The Man They Could Not Hang to the Infamous Baby Murderer of Torquay - murders always hit the headlines. In this intriguing compilation of murders and mysteries from darkest Decvon, the author has investigated the most notorious cases alongside some of the less well-known tales, telling the stories in a clear and concise easy-to-read style. Read about the murder victim who reappeared as a ghost to name his killer; the innocent man who escaped the hangman's noose by a whisker and then spent over 40yrs in exile before clearing his name; the mystery of the young bride who drowned tragically just days after her wedding - was it an accident, or was she murdered by her husband...or her parents? And read a murderer's own account of how, in a fit of demented rage, he stabbed his wife to death and then tried to kill himself. Illus. 32pp. softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F.
