SOUTH WALES MURDER CASEBOOK

Softcover. Featuring 16 heinous crimes from the region's past, all distinguished by a common thread - violent and untimely death. The author describes the physical brutalities of these extreme crimes and examines the tragic circumstances which have led to murder. The reasons behind these cases vary and are often quite complex - they range from passion, jealousy and sheer animal rage to the more straightforward motive of criminal greed. The murders are drawn from all areas of South Wales. They include the brutal slaying of a Pembrokeshire farmer, the unsolved murders of Lynette White and Geraldine Palk and the case of the 'Cardiff Ripper', Patrick Macdonald. Some of the stories are harrowing and many are baffling to the ordinary mind - but all make compelling reading for anyone interested in true crime in South Wales. Illus. + Index. 127pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
