CRIMES PAST Glasgow's Crimes of the Century

Softcover. A unique photographic journey through the crimes that shocked Glasgow. Using photographs from 'The Herald' and 'Evening Times' archives, the images show the city as it has never been seen before. Cases include the hunt for Bible John, the Howard Wilson police killings, the hunt for the murderers of Rachael Ross and the Peter Manuel case, which are vividly brought to life by the fascinating and evocative contemporary photographs. Alongside the photographs the author tells the story behind the images - the criminals, the police whose job it was to catch them, and the investigations that enthralled the city as they unfolded each day in the pages of 'The Herald' and 'Evening Times'. Most of the images are published for the first time since the original newspaper stories of the cases were printed, and many of the archive photographs have never appeared in print before, making the book a unique record of a century of crime which brings the dark side of the city vividly to life. Profusely Illus. + Index. 156pp. lge. 8vo. gatefold softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Review copy with loosely inserted slip. F. with no creasing to covers.
