THE KILLING OF LEON BERON (SIGNED)

Hardback. SIGNED. The murder of Leon Beron is one of the classic murder mysteries in the annals of crime. Beron ws killed on a lonely, rainswept common in the early hours of New Year's Day, 1911. Three months later a man named Stinie Morrison was convicted of his murder and imprisoned for life. In this case life meant life. Morrison went on a series of hunger strikes and died protesting his innocence. He is the only man in British legal history to starve himself to death to publicise his innocence. This book examines Morrison's trial and asks whether he would have been convicted under a fairer system of justice. It also puts forward new solutions about the killing of Leon Beron and poses two questions : Was Beron's death connected to the murders of three London policemen and, did the state deliberately allow their killers to go free?
