PASSION, MURDER AND MYSTERY

Hardback. In nearly every one of the 'affaires' related in this book, murder or murderers have been committed because a man's love for a woman, or a woman's adoration of a man, have made necessary the death of one who stood in the way, and where the passion of love rules the heart the death of a human person means nothing, even though, until just previously, he or she was the one beloved. The power of love, its capacity for good and evil, is astounding. It is paramount, and that is why the 14 cases recounted are but a small proportion of those which had still to be rewritten. Contents include : Jeanne Weber (France 1905); Louis Anastay (France 1891); Gabrielle Bompard and Michael Eyraud (France 1889); M. Boppe (France 1920); The Bessarabo's (France 1920); Mme. Steinheil (France 1909) + many more. 287pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate.
