FOUL DEEDS WILL RISE

Hardback. Here are stories familiar and unfamiliar, of men and women against the law - but there is more to these cases than mere reportage. The author has selected and grouped his cases according to the particular twist which classifies them and makes them stand out from all others. The author writes murder predominates, but only because the supreme offence in the eyes of the law naturally attracts public attention, although it still forms an almost negligible fraction of all crime. The author made considerable research into the background of each case, both from the point of view of the times and of the individuals concerned, so that the book has a value to the more serious student of crime without detracting from the absorbing interest of these true life histories. Chapter headings include : Chief Inspector "Luck"; Getting Away with Murder; Women on Trial (includes Mrs Styllou Fantopiou Christofi); Mind Behind Murder (includes Haigh); Crime in the U.S.A. (includes Brinks Robbery); The Tragic Tale of the Teddy Boys; A Gallery of Rogues (includes James Camb). With Index. 175pp. 8vo. h/back.
