FACETS OF CRIME

Softcover. Eleven tales from the archives of West-country crime offering more than just mystery and excitement. Together, they form an intriguing chronicle of the way the very definition of crime has changed over two centuries; singly, they provide a series of portraits of the criminal in all its cunning, subtlety, and craziness - and they show how alternating currents of intuition and painstaking diligence power the craft of the detective. Contents include : Dr Bridget Rose Dugdale (Peggy Archer); The Dartmoor Mutiny (Martin Bishop); The Roadley Murder (Michael Bossiney); The Farmworker's Revolt-Death and Exile (Tony Brode); The Little Train Robbery-Bodmin Road Station 1974 (Roy East); The Binghams-Naval Secrets to Russia (David Edwards); The Kruger Sovereigns-A Confidence Trick (Rufus Endle); Corpse in the Cupboard-How Did She Die?
